Assign the appropriate labels to the phase diagram shown below.
A)A = liquid,B = solid,C = gas,D = critical point
B)A = gas,B = solid,C = liquid,D = triple point
C)A = gas,B = liquid,C = solid,D = critical point
D)A = solid,B = gas,C = liquid,D = supercritical fluid
E)A = liquid,B = gas,C = solid,D = triple point

Question

Assign the appropriate labels to the phase diagram shown below. 
A)A = liquid,B = solid,C = gas,D = critical point 
B)A = gas,B = solid,C = liquid,D = triple point 
C)A = gas,B = liquid,C = solid,D = critical point 
D)A = solid,B = gas,C = liquid,D = supercritical fluid 
E)A = liquid,B = gas,C = solid,D = triple point

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A: The horizontal line represents the triple point, where all three phases coexist in equilibrium.
B: Region A represents the gas phase, Region B represents the solid phase, and Region C represents the liquid phase.
C: In this option, the labels are reversed. 
D: This option doesn't provide appropriate labels for the different regions on the diagram.
E: This option reverses the labels for the liquid and gas phases, and doesn't appropriately label the solid phase.
