The figure below is the phase diagram of a purse substance. (1), (II) and (III) are the 3 phases of the substance, and there are 3 phase boundaries. Based on this phase diagram, which of the following statement is (are) true about this substance? a) Below 0.7 atm, the liquid phase of this substance can be formed by carefully adjusting temperature. b) The substance can be transformed from liquid to solid by applying pressure. c) The normal boiling point is between 190 K and 210 K. Pressure (in atm) 1.4 1.3 1.2 1.1 1.0 0.9 (1) 0.8 0.7 (III) 0.6 0.5 120 140 160 180 200 220 T (in Kelvin) O a) only O b) only O c) only O a) and b) O b) and c) O c) and a) O a), b), and c) O None of the 3 statements is true.
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.
