Question

The triple point of nitrogen occurs at a temperature of 63.1 K and a pressure of 0.127 atm. Its normal boiling point is 77.4 K. (a) What is the vapor pressure of solid nitrogen at 63.1 K

Answer 1

Nitrogen has a normal boiling point of 77.4 K and a melting point (at 1 atm) of 63.2 K. Its critical temperature is 126.2 K, and its critical pressure is 2.55 * 104 torr. It has a triple point at 63.1 K and 94.0 torr.

What is the triple point?

The temperature and pressure at which the solid, liquid, and vapour phases of a pure substance can coexist in equilibrium.

- Normal melting point: 63.2 K.

- Normal boiling point: 77.4 K.

- Triple point: 0.127 atm and 63.1 K.

- Critical point: 33.5 atm and 126.0 K.

In such a way:

- N2 does not exist as a liquid at pressures below 0.127 atm: that is because below this point, solid N2 exists only (triple point).

- N2 is a solid at 16.7 atm and 56.5 K: that is because it is above the triple point, below the critical point and below the normal melting point.

- N2 is a liquid at 1.00 atm and 73.9 K: that is because it is above the triple point, below the critical point and below the normal boiling point.

- N2 is a gas at 0.127 atm and 84.0 K: that is because it is above the triple point temperature at the triple point pressure.
