The triple point of nitrogen occurs at a temperature of 63.1 K and a pressure of 0.127 atm. Its normal boiling point is 77.4 K. (a) What is the vapor pressure of solid nitrogen at 63.1 K? atm (b) Suppose a sample of solid nitrogen is held under an external pressure of 0.148 atm and heated from 5 K to 300 K. What phase change(s), if any, will occur?
