Assertion: A gas can be easily liquified at any temperature below its critical temperature. Reason : Liquifaction of gas takes place when the average kinetic energy of the molecule is low.

CO_2 cannot be liquified above 31.1°C. Why?

Why are the gases helium and hydrogen not liquified at room temperature by applying very high pressure?

Explain the significance of critical temperature and critical pressure for CO_2 which is kept at 31.10^@C . A minimum pressure of 72.9 atm should be applied to liquify it.
