Question

Uranium hexaflouride (UF6) has a triple point at (T, p) = (337 K,152 kPa). Suppose you have a (gaseous) sample of UF6 at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. If you keep cooling your sample, will it undergo a phase transition from gas → liquid or from gas → solid?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Uranium hexaflouride (UF6) has a triple point at (T, p) = (337 K,152 kPa) that means at pressure above 152kPa and temperature of 337 K ( 64 degree celsius) it becomes liquid .

If we  have a (gaseous) sample of UF6 at atmospheric pressure and room temperature , and we keep cooling the sample , it will undergo a phase change of gas → solid.
