1. Complete the table:
System
a. Ice in equilibrium with liquid water
at 0C
b. A saturated solution of BaCl2(aq)
with BaCl2(s) at 25C, 1 atm

2. Given the following phase diagram of a compound X, which forms two distinct solid phases and , answer the
following questions:
a. Give the phases that are in equilibrium in all of the
triple points A, B, and C.
b. If the solid phase is in equilibrium with the liquid
phase, do you expect the solid phase to float?
Explain your answer.
c. What phase change(s) occur(s) when compound X is
heated from:
i. 300 to 620 K at 200 atm
ii. 300 to 620 K at 300 atm
iii. 300 to 620 K at 400 atm
d. How many phases are present at temperatures and
pressures beyond point D? At point D itself? What is
the variance?
