Which outcome regarding volume change occurs when water reaches the critical point under high pressure?

💡 Explanation

At critical point, liquid and gas phases become indistinguishable; therefore the heat of vaporization, aka latent heat, to transform from liquid to gas goes to zero because surface tension vanishes rather than requiring energy for a phase transition.
