1
Q

What is the temperature and pressure at which three phases are in equilibrium?

A

triple point

2
Q

What is a super-critical fluid?

A

 A super-critical fluid is a fluid like a liquid and a gas, but it has s density that can vary between the two extremes of the liquid and the gas

3
Q

Define triple point

A

the temperature and pressure at which three phases are in equilibrium

4
Q

Define critical point

A

at temperatures and pressures greater than this point, the definition of a liquid and a gas disappear and the substance exists as a super-critical fluid (SCF)
