Question

 is the phase diagram of sulphur. At 95.4˚C, the densities of rhombic and
monoclinic sulphur are 2.07 g cm-3
and 1.96 g cm-3
, whilst the enthalpy change for the
phase transition from rhombic to monoclinic sulphur is 0.3 kJ mol-1
.

i) How many triple points are there?
ii) What is the most stable form of sulphur under normal conditions?
iii) Describe what happens when sulphur at 1 atm is heated from 80˚C to 200˚C.
iv) Determine the volume change ΔV for the transformation from rhombic to
monoclinic sulphur.
v) Estimate the pressure at which rhombic and monoclinic sulphur coexist in
equilibrium at a temperature of 373 K.
