Question
Chapter 6, Problem 6.57E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The validation of the fact that the liquid phase can be considered a metastable phase, depending on the pressure and temperature conditions of the system is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Metastable phase is the long lived relatively unstable phase which exists at relatively higher pressure than its corresponding stable state.
Phase diagram represents the different physical states of a substance at different values of temperature and pressure.
