Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

 In this context, we'll explore how oxygen behaves under different temperatures and pressures based on its known properties:

  • Normal melting point: 54.8 K: This is the temperature at which solid oxygen changes into liquid oxygen under standard atmospheric pressure.

  • Normal boiling point: 90.2 K: This is the temperature at which liquid oxygen changes into gaseous oxygen under standard atmospheric pressure.

  • Triple point: 1.50x10^-3 atm, 54.4 K: The triple point represents a unique set of conditions at which all three phases of a substance (solid, liquid, and gas) coexist in equilibrium.

  • Critical point: 49.8 atm, 154.6 K: The critical point represents the highest temperature and pressure at which a distinct liquid phase of the substance can exist.
