A certain substance, X, has a triple-point temperature of 20°C at a pressure of 2.0 atm.
1 answer:
Answer: The statement which could possibly not be true is C -" Liquid X can exist as a stable phase at 25°C, 1atm."
Explanation:
Triple point is the point where a substance co-exist as solid liquid and gas. At any point other than the triple point, the substance exist as a single phase substance.
As shown in the diagram, Liquid cannot exist as a stable phase at 1atm( below the the triple point pressure of 2atm) as the liquid can only exist beyond the pressure of triple point.

Answer:
(a) Increasing the temperature adds heat which is a reactant shifting the equilibrium rightwards.
(b) Pressure has no effect since the change in the number of moles is zero.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, one could represent the given reaction as:
Since it is endothermic. Thus, solving the (a) statement, one identifies the heat as a reagent, that is why the reaction cools down as it progress, therefore, by increasing the temperature, heat is added, that is, a reagent is added, which shifts the equilibrium rightwards, in other words, more NO is produced so its concentration increases.
Furthermore, for the (b) statement, since the change in the number of moles is zero, based on the stoichiometric coefficients as shown below:
Such value implies that the pressure has no effect on the concentration, taking into account the following form of the law of mass action:
Thus, since ,
, so no effect in concentration is due to the pressure.
Best regards.
