(N/A) The critical temperature $(T_C)$ of $CO_2$ is $31.1^{\circ}C$ (standard value).
At $30.98^{\circ}C$ (which is approximately $T_C$),$CO_2$ exists in equilibrium between gas and liquid phases.
At $13.1^{\circ}C$ $(T < T_C)$,$CO_2$ exists as a liquid at high pressure.
At $31.5^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$ $(T > T_C)$,$CO_2$ exists as a gas regardless of the pressure applied.

Assertion : Gases do not liquefy above their critical temperature,even on applying high pressure.
Reason : Above critical temperature,the molecular speed is high and intermolecular attractions cannot hold the molecules together because they escape because of high speed.

Gases possess characteristic critical temperature which depends upon the magnitude of intermolecular forces between the gas particles.
