Question
**Title: Understanding Heat and Phase Changes of a Pure Substance**

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

**Graph Analysis:**

- **Graph Details:**
  - **X-axis (Horizontal):** Heat added (kJ/mol)
  - **Y-axis (Vertical):** Temperature (°C)
  
- **Graph Description:**
  - The graph shows three distinct segments:
    1. The temperature remains constant initially as heat is added (0 to 10 kJ/mol), indicating a phase change.
    2. The temperature then rises steadily (10 to 30 kJ/mol), showing heating in a single phase (liquid).
    3. It levels off again at a higher temperature, marking another phase change (30 to 40 kJ/mol).

**Questions:**
1. **What is the boiling point of X?**
   - Answer choices provided: Enter the temperature in °C.

2. **What phase (physical state) of X would you expect to find in the flask after 17 kJ/mol of heat has been added?**
   - Answer choices: 
     - Solid
     - Liquid
     - Gas

**Instructions:**
Use the graph to deduce when these phase changes occur and accurately answer the questions above. Click ‘Check’ to verify your answers.

**Conclusion:**
This experiment helps in understanding how a substance transitions between solid, liquid, and gas phases with the application of heat, by analyzing temperature changes plotted against heat added.
