Which outcome occurs when the adiabatic compression of freon nears the critical point in a refrigeration cycle?

💡 Explanation

Near the critical point, the distinction between liquid and gas phases disappears; therefore, the **heat capacity** diverges due to increased density fluctuations, causing temperature changes during adiabatic compression to vary more erratically, rather than following a standard adiabatic curve.
