### Identifying Phase Transitions on a Heating Curve

A pure solid sample of Substance X is put into an evacuated flask. The flask is heated at a steady rate, and the temperature is recorded as time passes. Below is a graph of the results:

#### Graph Description:
- **X-axis**: Heat added (kJ/mol)
- **Y-axis**: Temperature (°C)
- **Curve**: The graph shows an upward trend initially, indicating an increase in temperature as heat is added. It then becomes horizontal, indicating a phase change where temperature remains constant despite further heat addition. The curve resumes an upward trend once the phase change is complete.

#### Use this graph to answer the following questions:

1. **What is the melting point of X?**
   - [Input for numerical answer] °C

2. **What phase (physical state) of X would you expect to find in the flask after 7 kJ/mol of heat has been added?**
   - [Checkboxes]
     - Solid
     - Liquid
     - Gas

[Buttons for interaction]
- Explanation
- Check

(Note: The graph illustrations make it clear that specific regions indicate different phases based on the heat added and the corresponding temperature changes.)

This educational content helps students understand how to interpret heating curves and identify phase transitions like melting points.
