Refer to the phase diagram of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ in Active Figure $13-17 \mathrm{~b}$ to answer this.
List the phases that would be observed if a sample of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ at 10 atm pressure were heated from $-80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $-40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.

Key Concepts

Phase Diagram

A phase diagram is a graphical representation that shows the stability regions of different phases (solid, liquid, and gas) of a substance as a function of temperature and pressure. It helps in predicting which phase a substance will be in under varied conditions and is essential for understanding phase transitions.

Triple Point

The triple point is a unique set of temperature and pressure conditions where three phases of a substance coexist in equilibrium. It serves as a critical reference in the phase diagram, indicating the minimum pressure needed for the liquid phase to exist and distinguishing between sublimation and melting conditions.

Isobaric Process

An isobaric process is one that occurs at a constant pressure. When analyzing phase changes under such conditions, the temperature changes drive the transitions between phases according to the position of the process line on the phase diagram.

Phase Transition

Phase transitions are changes between different states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas. These occur when a substance crosses a boundary on the phase diagram, such as from solid to liquid (fusion) or from liquid to gas (vaporization), and are determined by the prevailing temperature and pressure conditions.
