Question:

Beyond the critical point of H2O

Show Hint

The critical point marks the boundary beyond which the distinction between liquid and gas phases disappears.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Beyond the critical point of H2O, the substance enters a supercritical state, where liquid and gas phases merge and the substance is no longer a typical molecule of H2O. It exists as a superheated fluid without distinct liquid and gas phases. Thus, the correct answer is (d).
