Which transition could occur if a solid is heated at a pressure above the triple point pressure?
A)vaporization
B)deposition
C)melting
D)sublimation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If a solid is heated at a pressure above the triple point pressure, it will undergo a transition to a liquid state through melting. Vaporization occurs when a liquid turns into a gas, deposition occurs when a gas turns into a solid, and sublimation occurs when a solid turns directly into a gas without going through the liquid phase. None of these transitions would occur if the solid is heated above the triple point pressure.
