Given values-

Pressure = 35mmHg

Temperature = -50°C

These two given values are intersecting at point D and point D lies in the vapor phase region.

Hence,

At pressure 35 mmHg and at temperature 120°C, the physical state of the compound is vapor.

b = liquid-vapor phase in equilibrium

c = solid-vapor phase in equilibrium

The normal boiling temperature is the temperature at which compound start freezing which is basically atmospheric pressure. Therefore pressure for the freezing point is 760mmHg. At atmospheric pressure of freezing point, if at the particular temperature the liquid and vapor phase of a substance are at equilibrium then that temperature is the freezing point temperature. From the phase diagram of the compound, at temperature 20°C liquid and vapor phase of a substance is at the equilibrium.

Hence, the freezing point temperature is 20°C.

From the above diagram, the critical point of a substance is represented by the end of that curve which shows the equilibrium condition between the liquid phase and vapor phase. This curve is curved b and it ends at point A at temperature 200°C and at pressure 2 atm.

Hence, the point A is called a critical point.

The triple point represents the equilibrium among all the phases which are solid, liquid and gas of compound. Hence, the intersection point of all curves am and c will represent the triple point. From the graph, the intersection point of these three curves is existing at point B.

Therefore, point B will represent the triple point of the compound.

In this process the, the pressure is constant and the temperature varies from 40°C to -20°C which is represented by point E and F. The starting point is E and endpoint is F and both have different phases. The point E or starting point occurs in the vapor phase and the ending point, point F lies in the solid phase. So, there is an occurrence of a change of phase.

The floating of solid on liquid depends on the density of these two phases. In the case of the solid phase of water, it will float on the liquid phase of water. But this condition is not the same in all condition because the solid iron piece will not be able to float on the liquid water otherwise it will sink in the water.

c = solid-vapor phase in equilibrium

The compound with pressure 2 atm and at temperature 180°C is occurred at point G which exist at the left of the critical point or point A. The pressure of this pint is less than the critical point hence it will exist in the critical limits. Therefore, the phase of the compound at this point is the liquid phase. Therefore, compound will exist as a liquid at given quantities.
