Module 1 Lesson 4 Mastery Assignment – Phase Diagram Analysis

Honors Chemistry NCVPS

Use the diagram below to answer the questions that follow. Please answer the questions in a different
colored font. Submit your completed document in the course.

1. What state of matter is represented by the area surrounding the letter A? solid
2. What state of matter is represented by the area surrounding the letter B? liquid
3. What state of matter is represented by the area surrounding the letter C? gas
4. Locate the triple point. Explain what is happening at that data point. the triple point is the
blue dot this happens when the solid, liquid and gas reach an equilibrium state.
5. Locate the critical point. Explain what is happening at that data point. the critical point is
the yellow dot and this is when temperature and pressure at which the distinction between
liquid and gas can no longer be made.
6. Describe the phase change (example: boiling, melting, condensation, deposition, freezing,
or sublimation) as the substance moves from …
a. Region A to Region B melting
b. Region A to Region C sublimation
c. Region B to Region A freezing
 d. Region B to Region C vaporization
e. Region C to Region B condensation
f. Region C to Region A deposition
7. How does increasing the pressure affect the temperature required for this substance to boil?
The greater the pressure, the more energy is required for liquids to boil, and the higher the
boiling point.
8. True or False At higher temperatures, deposition is less likely.
true
9. Estimate the normal melting point and normal boiling point of this substance.
30 and 160
10. If at the triple point the temperature is 30 degrees Celsius and the pressure is 0.75 atm, in
what state of matter would the substance most likely be at 20 degrees Celsius and 1.5 atm?
If at the triple point the temperature is 30 degrees Celsius and the pressure is 0.75 atm, in what
state of matter would the substance most likely be at 20 degrees Celsius and 1.5 atm?
