Which of the following statements about mixture critical points is true?

A. Just like pure components, a binary mixture will possess only one critical point for the system.
B. The critical temperature of a binary mixture is just the mole fraction of the components in a mixture multiplied by their pure-component critical temperature.
C. For a binary mixture, there is not one critical point but a locus of critical points, which depend upon the system temperature or pressure (according to the Gibbs phase rule).
D. All of the above are true.
E. None of the above are true.


A. Incorrect. For a binary mixture, the composition of the critical point will change with either temperature or pressure.
B. Incorrect. Critical properties are not required to follow a simple weighted summation.
C. Correct. This is displayed in Figure 10-12.
