Chapter 6, Problem 6.57E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The validation of the fact that the liquid phase can be considered a metastable phase, depending on the pressure and temperature conditions of the system is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Metastable phase is the long lived relatively unstable phase which exists at relatively higher pressure than its corresponding stable state.

Phase diagram represents the different physical states of a substance at different values of temperature and pressure.
