Show Answer
Answer: (2)
Solution:
Formula: Compressibility Factor
At
(a) $arrow CO_2$ exist as gas
(b) $arrow$ liquefaction of $CO_2$ starts
(c) $arrow$ liquefaction ends
(d) $arrow CO_2$ exist as liquid.
Between (b) & (c) $arrow$ liquid and gaseous
$CO_2$ co-exist.
As volume changes from (b) to (c) gas decreases and liquid increases.
$(A),(C) \to$ correct
