2. read the phase at the intersection of any given temperature and pressure
Explanation:
The phase diagram of water is a chart used to show the physical states of water at different pressures and temperatures. In a typical phase diagram, pressure is plotted against temperature. Water is known to have three states such as solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (steam). In order to determine the physical state of water on the phase diagram, we just read the phase at the point at which the pressure and temperature values intersect. The correct answer is option (2).
"The water becomes warmer." <u>Remember</u>: Kinetic energy means how much, on average, a molecule is moving around. This is directly translated into heat. Therefore, the higher the kinetic energy, the more heat produced.
