Chapter 12, Problem 56E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The phase changes occur as a sample of H₂O (g), originally at $\text{1}\text{.00 mmHg}$ and $\text{-0}{\text{.10 }}^{0}C$, is compressed at constant temperature until the pressure reaches $100\text{ atm}$ should be traced.

Concept introduction:

State of matter depends on the temperature and pressure of the substance. One can determine the state of matter of a substance by its phase diagram when the temperature and pressure is known. When temperature of a substance is changed at constant temperature, it is called an isothermal process.
