Question

1/ Sublimation occurs if the temperature of the solid phase is increased from -79.0 C to 0.0 C at a constant pressure of 2.5 atm.
2/ CO2 is a supercritical fluid at 55 C and 75 atm.
3/ At pressures greater than its critical pressure (73 atm), CO2 will not exist as a solid at any temperature.
