In these conditions carbon dioxide is a gas.
At -60°C and 1 ATM pressure, carbon dioxide is in the solid phase, commonly known as dry ice. This is because the phase diagram for CO2 shows that below its triple point (approximately -56.6°C at about 5.1 ATM), carbon dioxide cannot exist as a liquid at 1 ATM pressure. Therefore, at -60°C and 1 ATM, CO2 is solid.
The triple point of Carbon Dioxide is 216.58 K (-56.57 °C), 518.5 kPa (5.117197 atm) so pushing the pressure higher and the temperature lower shifts it solidly into the solid phase. Another way of checking it is to note that the vapor pressure of solid Carbon Dioxide at -60 °C is 4.043 atm so increasing the pressure to 15 atm would certainly push it further into the solid phase.
At 12 atm pressure and -40°C, carbon dioxide is in the solid phase according to the phase diagram. This corresponds to the region of the phase diagram where CO2 exists in the solid state at those specific pressure and temperature conditions.
The triple point of Carbon Dioxide is 216.55 K (−56.60 °C) and 517 kPa (5.10 atm). Since that puts the pressure (1 atm) below the triple point pressure (5.1 atm) we are only concerned with the where the solid/vapor equilibrium line falls relative to the temperature. At 1 atm, the sublimation temperature of Carbon Dioxide is -78.5 °C - considerably below -20 °C so that puts the Carbon Dioxide firmly in the vapor region of the phase diagram.
At -60 degrees Celsius and 1 ATM pressure, carbon dioxide would be in a solid phase. This is because the temperature is below its sublimation point, causing it to directly change from a gas to a solid without passing through the liquid phase.
At 20 degrees Celsius and 25 ATM pressure, carbon dioxide would be in a supercritical state, exhibiting properties of both a gas and a liquid.
At -20 degrees Celsius and 1 ATM pressure, carbon dioxide is in the solid phase (dry ice), as it undergoes direct sublimation from a gas to a solid at temperatures below its sublimation point.
At -60 degrees Celsius and standard atmospheric pressure (1 ATM), carbon dioxide exists in a solid phase, commonly referred to as dry ice. This temperature is below the sublimation point of carbon dioxide, where it transitions directly from solid to gas without becoming a liquid. Therefore, at these conditions, carbon dioxide would not be found in its gaseous or liquid form.
At 12 ATM pressure and -40°C, carbon dioxide exists in a solid state, commonly known as dry ice. At this temperature and pressure, carbon dioxide does not enter a liquid phase; instead, it sublimates directly from solid to gas when it warms up. The critical point for carbon dioxide is around 31°C and 73 ATM, meaning that under the specified conditions, it cannot be in liquid form.
solid, I just took the text on apex
(Explanation): If you look at the phase diagram for CO2, and you draw a lines where the temperature and pressure meet, you will see that the point will be inside the zone that is 'solid', so it is in the solid state.
Both values are above Triple point at 518 kPa and −56.6 °C, so it is liquid
