A. Carbon dioxide remains as a gas upto point (b)
B. Liquid carbon dioxide appears at point (c)
C. Liquid and gaseous carbon dioxide coexist between points (b) and (c)

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