Question

) If this substance is at the pressure and temperature of point E and the temperature is raised so that the pressure and temperature are equal to that of point F, what phase transition will occur?

Answer 1

The First-order phase transitions will occur.

Step-by-step explanation:

The First-order phase transitions are those that involve a latent heat. During such a transition, a system either absorbs or releases a fixed (and typically large) amount of energy per volume while Second order phase transitions occur when a new state of reduced symmetry develops continuously from the disordered (high temperature) phase. The ordered phase has a lower symmetry than the Hamiltonian—the phenomenon of spontaneously broken symmetry.

There are six changes of phase that substances go through:

• Freezing: liquid to solid.
• Melting: solid to liquid.
• Condensation: gas to liquid.
• Vaporization: liquid to gas.
• Sublimation: solid to gas.
• Deposition: gas to solid.
