Study the following phase diagram of Substance X. 28 solid liquid 14- gas 200 400 temperature (K) Use this diagram to answer the following questions. Suppose a small sample of pure X is held at 19. °C and 20.1 atm. What will be the state of the sample? solid Suppose the temperature is held constant at 19. °C but the pressure v (choose one) is decreased by 4.7 atm. What will happen to the sample? Nothing. It will melt. Suppose, on the other hand, the pressure is held constant at 20.1 atm It will freeze. but the temperature is decreased by 175. °C. What will happen to the sample? It will boil. It will condense. It will sublime. It will deposit. Explanation Check O 2022 McGraw Hill LLC. All Rights Reserved. Terms of Use pressure (atm)
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
