Nitrogen has a normal boiling point of 77.3 K and a melting point (at 1 atm) of 63.1 K. Its critical temperature is 126.2 K and its critical pressure is 2.55×10⁴ torr. It has a triple point at 63.1 K and 94.0 torr. Sketch the phase diagram for nitrogen. Does nitrogen have a stable liquid state at 1 atm?

Accepted Answer

Hey everyone, we're told that hydrogen has, it's triple point at 13.8 kelvin and 7.4 kg pascal's the normal at 100 and 1.325. Kill pascal's melting and boiling temperatures are 14.5 kelvin and 20.28 kelvin. Its critical temperature and pressure are 32.98 kelvin and 1293 Killah pascal's with these values sketch this phase diagram for hydrogen at 100 and 1.325 Kill A pascal's. Does hydrogen have a stable liquid state? So first let's go ahead and organize our given values. So let's go ahead and separate our pressure and our temperature starting with our triple point, We were told that our pressure is at 7.04 kill a pascal's while our temperature is at 13.8 Kelvin. Next looking at our melting point, We were told that we were at 101.325 kill a pascal's while our temperature is at 14.05 Kelvin. Now, let's go ahead and look at our boiling For our boiling point, we were told that our pressure is again at 101.325. Kill a Pascal's while our temperature is at 20.28 Kelvin. And lastly looking at our critical pressure and are critical temperature, We were told that our critical pressure is at 1293 Killah Pascal's. While our temperature is at 32.98 Kelvin. Now, let's go ahead and draw out our phase diagram. So I'll pull up our phase diagram right here. So first we had to label our axes with X being our temperature in kelvin. While ry is our pressure in kila pascal's. Next we have to locate our points and we have to draw curved lines passing through those marked points. So here we have our melting point, our triple point are boiling point and lastly our critical point. Now from left to right, we have to label our phases. So we have our solid phase followed by our liquid phase and lastly, our gas phase, the low temperatures are most appropriate for the solid phase while the high temperatures are most suitable for the gas phase. So to answer a question at 100 and 1.325 killer pascal's which is around this region right here we see that we pass through all three regions solid liquid and gas. So answering this question, we can see that yes, hydrogen does have a stable liquid ST and that would be in this region right here under our liquid phase. Now, I hope this made sense.
