No, critical temperature an critical pressure are used for gases and their liquefaction not for solids or liquids.

Critical pressure is the minimum pressure required for the liquefaction of gas (or vapor) at the critical temperature; and the critical temperature is the maximum temperature of gas to be liquefied above which no liquid phase exists.

The change of water from a gas to a liquid?

The process of changing liquid water into a gas is called evaporation. Energy is added to the liquid water - generally in the form of heat. When enough energy is added, it allows the most energetic molecules at the surface of the liquid to break free of the liquid and enter the gas phase. The more energy that is added, the more water molecules will have enough energy to move into the gas phase. If enough energy is added, all the molecules will leave the liquid and from then on adding energy will just make the gas warmer. Another way to change liquid water into gas is to drop the pressure above the liquid. In this case, it takes less energy for the molecules in the liquid to get away from the liquid so some of them will already be energetic enough to get away. Any mass of liquid water will have a range of energies for the molecules, some will be low energy, others high energy with each collision between the molecules, they either gain or loose energy. If they gain enough energy, they can become energetic enough to escape the liquid as a gas. The higher the pressure, the more energy is required to become a gas. If the liquid water is in contact with some gas - air for example. The liquid will evaporate until the gas is saturated with water vapor. At that point the rate of water molecules dropping out of the gas back into the water (because they don't have enough energy to stay in the gas) is equal to the rate of water molecules escaping from the liquid to become gas. This point is also known as "equilibrium".


Change of a liquid to a gas?

The change of a liquid to a gas is Vaporization. Not to be confused with "Evaporation".


Can condensation change water vapor to liquid water?

Condensation is like when you make fog on a cool window and it makes little drops so no, condensation is a gas turning into a liquid. Freezing is turning a liquid into a solid and melting is a solid to a liquid and finally a liquid into a gas is evaporation. I hope that helped! :)


Does nitrogen change from a liquid to a gas at the same temperature at which water changes from liquids to a gas?

No it can not, their boiling points are vastly different.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, yes but the change will be explosive.If you poured liquid nitrogen into boiling water, all the liquid nitrogen would become gas and spray the remaining liquid boiling water in all directions.If you poured boiling water into liquid nitrogen, all the liquid nitrogen would become gas and spray the remaining liquid boiling water in all directions.Please don't try this, you will be severely injured!!!!!!

Is energy required for a liquid to change into a gas?

Yes, energy is required for a liquid to change into a gas. This process is known as vaporization or boiling and it requires the liquid to absorb heat energy to overcome intermolecular forces and become a gas.

How can you change liquid water into a solid or a gas?

To change liquid water into a solid, you need to lower the temperature below 0 degrees Celsius to freeze it. To change liquid water into a gas, you need to raise the temperature above 100 degrees Celsius to evaporate it.


What is necessary to make any matter change phases?

Cooling or Heating First of all we have 3 phases, Gas, Liquid and Solid to change from gas to liquid to solid, cooling is required and to change from solid to liquid to gas, heating is required This type of heat is called latent heat, always think of water as an example Ice --> Water , heating Water--> Water Vapour, more heating
