1 answer:
Answer:
The final state of the substance is a gas.
The sample is initially a liquid. One or more phase changes will occur.
Explanation:
Let's consider the phase diagram for Argon (not to scale).
<em>A sample of argon is initially at a pressure of 49.6 atm and a temperature of 101.4 K. The pressure on the sample is reduced to 0.680 atm at a constant temperature of 101.4 K. Which of the following are true? Choose all that apply </em>
<em>The final state of the substance is a gas.</em> TRUE. At 0.680 atm and 101.4 K, the substance is a gas.
<em>The gas initially present will solidify.</em> FALSE. Initially, Ar is present as a liquid.
<em>The final state of the substance is a solid.</em> FALSE.
<em>The sample is initially a liquid. One or more phase changes will occur.</em> TRUE. The sample is initially liquid and only one phase change will occur.
