10.4 Exercise 2
What phase changes will take place when water is subjected to varying pressure at a constant temperature of 0.005 °C? At 40 °C? At −40 °C?
10.4 Exercise 4
From the phase diagram for carbon dioxide in the figure, determine the state of CO2 at:
(a) 20 °C and 1000 kPa
(b) 10 °C and 2000 kPa
(c) 10 °C and 100 kPa
(d) −40 °C and 500 kPa
(e) −80 °C and 1500 kPa
(f) −80 °C and 10 kPa
10.4 Exercise 8
If a severe storm results in the loss of electricity, it may be necessary to use a clothesline to dry laundry. In many parts of the country in the dead of winter, the clothes will quickly freeze when they are hung on the line. If it does not snow, will they dry anyway? Explain your answer.
