Questions and Answers

What is a phase diagram?

  • A chart showing the physical changes of state that a substance can undergo
  • A graph representing the melting point variation with pressure
  • A map of the pressures and temperatures at which each phase of a substance is the most stable (correct)
  • A diagram illustrating how the vapor pressure of a substance varies with temperature
  • What are metastable phases?

  • Phases that have equilibrium temperature at which two phases coexist
  • Thermodynamically unstable phases that exist because the transition to a more stable phase is kinetically hindered (correct)
  • Phases that are stable at very low temperatures
  • Phases that are always stable under any conditions
  • What is a phase transition?

  • The graph representing the variation of vapor pressure with temperature
  • The equilibrium temperature at which two phases coexist
  • The conversion of one phase into another phase at a characteristic temperature for a given pressure (correct)
  • The temperature at which the two phases are in equilibrium
