Thomas Andrews performed some experiments on carbon dioxide gas to understand pressure-temperature-volume relations in both gaseous and liquid state. The gas behaves as ideal gas at this temperature. At this temperature, gas cannot be liquefied even by applying high pressure.
As, the temperature is lowered, gases show deviation from ideal behaviour. At 30.98℃ temperature and 73 atmospheric pressure, liquid carbon dioxide appears for first time. This temperature is the critical temperature i.e. Tc. . Volume of 1 mole of gas at critical temperature is called critical volume i.e. Vc and corresponding pressure is called critical pressure i.e. pc. All together, Tc, Vc ,, pc are called critical constants.
With increase in pressure more gas converted into liquid and volume reduces. With increase in pressure more carbon dioxide condenses and forms liquid carbon dioxide. Gradually all gaseous carbon dioxide get converted to liquid state. Further increase in pressure causes no effect on the volume as liquid is incompressible.
At 21.5 ℃ , gaseous carbon dioxide exists upto point B. at point B i.e. 60 atm pressure, liquefaction of carbon dioxide starts. It continues till point C where liquefaction is complete and gas is fully condensed.
At 13.1 ℃ and 50 atmosphere pressure the liquefaction start at I and completes at point J.
Thus we can say that the gas can be liquified easily at lower temperature and lower pressure..
Conclusions from Graphical Study:
In the region to the right of dome shape curve and to the right of 30.98 ℃ isotherm, carbon dioxide is in gas phase. However to the left of dome shaped curve and left of 30.98 ℃ isotherm, carbon dioxide is in liquid phase. In the region below dome shaped curve both, liquid phase and gaseous phase occur simultaneously and so this is the two-phase region.
It is possible to change a gas into liquid or liquid into gas by a process in which there is only one phase any time. e.g. gas phase can be converted to liquid phase by going via the curve A, F, G to H.
It is found that, all gases show same behaviour as that of carbon dioxide.
Since, there is continuity between gaseous and liquid state, so we use the term fluid to recognise their continuity.
