Question
at atmospheric pressure, water melts as the temperature increases from 270K to 280K because
a. the chemical potential of the liquid is lower than that of the gas
b. the liquid and solid form a eutectic mixture
c. the chemical potential of the liquid and solid become equal
d. the chemical potential of the liquid is higher than that of the gas
 
 
Expert Solution
Step 1: Write the given information-

The melting point of an object, water is the temperature at which it transitions from a solid phase to a liquid phase at a given pressure.The process of melting consists of a change in the chemical potential of the substance.
