A substance has a triple point at -24.5 ∘C and 225 mmHg. What is most likely to happen to a solid sample of the substance as it is warmed from -35 ∘C to 0 ∘C at a pressure of 220 mmHg? A substance has a triple point at -24.5 and 225 . What is most likely to happen to a solid sample of the substance as it is warmed from -35 to 0 at a pressure of 220 ? The solid will melt into a liquid, The solid will sublime into a gas, or Nothing (the solid will remain as a solid).

Respuesta :

this product remains as mercury if it is subatomic

Answer:

The solid will sublime into a gas

Explanation:

See the phase diagram attached (the diagram is not an exact representation of this case, it is only illustrative). You starts at point A, that is, a point below triple point pressure (220 mmHg is lower than 225 mmHg) and to the left of triple point temperature (-35 °C is lower than -24.5 °C). Then, you move to point B, which is at the same pressure at A but its temperature is to the right of triple point temperature (0°C is greater than -24.5 °C).
