A cooling curve has two flat lines, or plateaus. What does the plateau at the higher temperature represent?

Answer:
It is in the state of "thermal arrest"
Explanation:
The temperature stays constant during the phase change process . This is because the matter has more internal energy and heat has to be taken away for the solidification process to begin. The energy that is required for a phase change is know as latent heat (which is the energy released or absorbed by a body during a thermodynamic process).

Answer:
100.8 °C
Explanation:
The Clausius-clapeyron equation is:
-Δ
Where 'ΔHvap' is the enthalpy of vaporization; 'R' is the molar gas constant (8.314 j/mol); 'T1' is the temperature at the pressure 'P1' and 'T2' is the temperature at the pressure 'P2'
Isolating for T2 gives:
(sorry for 'deltaHvap' I can not input symbols into equations)
thus T2=100.8 °C
