All one question with a few different parts
Use the data to sketch the phase diagram for xenon (Xe) and then answer the questions that follow.
Normal boiling point: 165 K
Normal melting point: 161 K
Triple point: 152 K, .37 atm
Critical temperature: 290 K
Critical pressure: 57 atm
A. What phase is xenon at atmospheric conditions?
B. Is liquid xenon more or less dense than solid xenon? Use the diagram to justify your answer.
C. What is the appropriate maximum pressure of gas that can exist at -155 degrees Celsuis?
D. If a Xenon sample is heated at .2 atm, at what temperature will xenon melt? Explain.
E. Can xenon be liquid at room temperature if enough pressure is applied? Explain.
F. What is the minimum temperature at which the liquid phase can exist?
