Which consequence results when a pure substance exceeds its critical point?

A)Latent heat becomes effectively zero
B)Sublimation occurs without triple point
C)Boiling point temperature reaches zero
D)Azeotrope creation prevents full separation

💡 Explanation

A fluid beyond its critical point experiences a phase change via supercritical fluid formation, because heat of vaporization, driven by intermolecular forces, is zero. therefore, latent heat drops to zero, rather than exhibiting boiling suppression or azeotropic phenomenon under normal conditions.
