Question

On a two-component solid-liquid phase diagram, an isopleth indicates which of the following?
  1. A region where the composition of the system is constant
  2. An area above which only the liquid phase exists
  3. A region where the pressure is constant
  4. An area below which only the solid phase exists

A
A region where the pressure is constant
B
An area above which only the liquid phase exists
C
An area below which only the solid phase exists
D
A region where the composition of the system is constant
Solution
Verified by Toppr


An isopleth is a line that can be drawn on a phase diagram. It indicates a region where the composition is constant.

In a two-component solid-liquid phase diagram, it is drawn vertically covering a range of temperature

Hence, the correct option is A

The above diagram is known as phase diagram. The phase diagram for a substance is shown in the figure where T is temperature in Kelvin and P is pressure in atmospheres. For example if a substance at a particular temperature and pressure lies in gas area , the substance exists only as a gas.
However, if the temperature-pressure pairing is on the line segment between gas and liquid, the substance exists as both a gas and a liquid.. If T>0 and P>0, which of the following systems of inequalities would describe the temperature and pressure ranges in which this substance exists only as a liquid?
