Assign the appropriate labels to the phase diagram shown below.
A) A = liquid, B = solid, C = gas, D = critical point
B) A = gas, B = solid, C = liquid, D = triple point
C) A = gas, B = liquid, C = solid, D = critical point
D) A = solid, B = gas, C = liquid, D = supercritical fluid
E) A = liquid, B = gas, C = solid, D = triple point

Question

Assign the appropriate labels to the phase diagram shown below. 
A) A = liquid, B = solid, C = gas, D = critical point 
B) A = gas, B = solid, C = liquid, D = triple point 
C) A = gas, B = liquid, C = solid, D = critical point 
D) A = solid, B = gas, C = liquid, D = supercritical fluid 
E) A = liquid, B = gas, C = solid, D = triple point

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A = gas, B = solid, C = liquid represents the sublimation process (solid to gas) without passing through the liquid phase. D = triple point is the point in which all three phases coexist in equilibrium.
