Question

Using the phase diagram given, indicate whether the statements below are true (T) or false (F). At the temperature and pressure of point 2, substance Z exists as a three-phase equilibrium system. At the temperature and pressure of point 3, substance Z exists as a one-phase gaseous system. If the Z(s) = Z(I) = Z( g) system is maintained at the temperature of point 2 while pressure is decreased, more Z will vaporize. If liquid Z is maintained at the pressure of point 4 while the temperature is decreased to 30 degree C, the liquid will vaporize. The existence of liquid Z at -50 degree C and 2 atm represents the metastable condition of "supercooling."
