Q3. The following information on the pressure-temperature diagram of nitrogen: P (atm) T(K) 0.123 63.15 33.3978 126.19 1.0 77.35 Triple point Critical point Normal boiling point Density of N₂(s): 1.03g/cm-³ N₂(1): 0.808g/cm-³ Using this information, sketch a phase-equilibrium diagram of nitrogen and mark each point. Then, describe why the slope of each phase/phase equilibrium is positive or negative.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The phase diagram indicating the above points can be created as:

Chemistry homework question answer, step 2, image 1

X is the normal melting point, Y is the normal boiling point, T is a triple point and C is the critical point. 

The density of liquid nitrogen is less than that of solid, so the solid-liquid line named TA is tilted towards the liquid which indicates that it expands on heating.
