Which outcome occurs when pressure increases beyond the critical point?

💡 Explanation

At critical pressure, there is no phase transition, and phase separation cannot occur, because rapid molecular mixing dominates. Therefore, a supercritical fluid forms, rather than distinct liquid or gas phases, under specific temperature constraints.
