What is a phase diagram?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the definition of a phase diagram. A phase diagram is a graph showing the conditions (pressure, temperature, etc.) at which thermodynamically distinct phases occur and coexist at equilibrium.
Answer
A phase diagram is a graph showing the states of a substance under different temperatures and pressures.
A phase diagram is a graph that shows the physical states of a substance under different conditions of temperature and pressure. It is a visual representation of a material's crystal structure and behavior over a specified range.
