The critical temperature of CO2 is 31.1 degrees C (about 304.2 K), a fixed physical constant of the substance.

The critical temperature (Tc) of a gas is the highest temperature at which the gas can still be liquefied by applying pressure; above Tc, no amount of pressure can condense the gas into a liquid, because the kinetic energy of the molecules is too high for intermolecular attractive forces to hold them together as a liquid phase. Each real gas has its own characteristic critical temperature, critical pressure (Pc) and critical volume (Vc), determined experimentally and related to the van der Waals constants a and b.
