Question
### Experiment on Heating a Pure Sample of Substance X

A pure solid sample of Substance X is placed into an evacuated flask. The flask is heated at a steady rate, and the temperature is recorded as time progresses. Below is an analysis of the results based on the provided graph.

#### Graph Description:

- **Axes:**
  - The vertical axis represents the **temperature (°C)**.
  - The horizontal axis represents the **heat added (kJ/mol)**.

- **Data Trend:**
  - Initially, the temperature rises steeply from 10°C.
  - At approximately 10 kJ/mol, the graph shows a plateau at around 40°C, indicating a phase change where the substance is transitioning from solid to liquid.
  - The temperature remains constant until about 20 kJ/mol of heat is added.
  - The temperature then rises steadily to approximately 130°C, indicating the heating of the liquid phase.
  - A second plateau is observed at this temperature, suggesting another phase change, likely from liquid to gas, persisting until about 40 kJ/mol.
  - After this point, the temperature increases again as the gas phase is heated.

#### Questions:

1. **What is the boiling point of X?**
   - Answer is indicated by the second plateau, approximately **130°C**.

2. **What phase (physical state) of X would you expect to find in the flask after 19 kJ/mol of heat has been added?**
   - Consider the plateau from approximately 10 kJ/mol to 20 kJ/mol. The substance is likely in the **liquid** phase at 19 kJ/mol.

These observations help in understanding the transitions between different states of matter as heat is added to a substance.
