For every liquid there is a temperature above which the kinetic activity of its molecules is so great that the attractive forces cannot keep them in a liquid state. This temperature is called the:

a. critical temperature.
b. melting point.
c. flash temperature.
d. triple point.

Question 2

During some pulmonary function tests, saturated gas exhaled from a patient's lungs is gathered at room temperature.

Which of the following correction-factor tables would you use to determine what volume this gas occupied in the patient's lungs?
a. Standard temperature, standard pressure, dry (STPD) to body temperature, ambient pressure, saturated (BTPS)
b. BTPS to STPD
c. Ambient temperature, ambient pressure, saturated (ATPS) to BTPS
d. ATPS to STPD

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
When a liquid is heated to its critical temperature, it converts to a gas. This temperature is called the critical temperature.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Correction from ATPS to standard temperature and pressure (0 C and 760 torr), dry (STPD).
