A substance has a triple point at −24.5 ∘C and 225 mmHg. What is most likely to happen to a solid sample of the substance as it

is warmed from −35 ∘C to 5 ∘C at a pressure of 210 mmHg?Nothing (the solid will remain as a solid).The solid will sublime into a gas.The solid will melt into a liquid.

Answer:

The solid will sublime into a gas

Explanation:

In the graph in the attachment

Y-axis represents pressure in mm of Hg

X- axis represents temperature in degree Celsius

The graph show the triple point of water.

Clearly, the sample will go from solid to vapor directly, no liquid involved (pink line is there to show that this is below triple point)

So

expect sublimation

The solid will sublime into a gas.
