Here&#8217;s a detailed explanation for each part:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>a. What is the normal boiling point for iodine?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> <strong>184\u00b0C<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Explanation:<\/strong><br>The <strong>normal boiling point<\/strong> of a substance is the temperature at which it changes from liquid to gas (boils) at <strong>1 atmosphere (atm)<\/strong> of pressure. For iodine (I\u2082), this occurs at approximately <strong>184\u00b0C<\/strong>. On a phase diagram, this point is located where the <strong>liquid-gas boundary line<\/strong> intersects the <strong>1 atm<\/strong> line. At this temperature, the vapor pressure of iodine equals atmospheric pressure, allowing it to transition to a gaseous state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>b. What is the melting point for iodine at 1 atm?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> <strong>114\u00b0C<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Explanation:<\/strong><br>The <strong>melting point<\/strong> is the temperature at which a substance transitions from solid to liquid at a given pressure\u2014here, <strong>1 atm<\/strong>. According to iodine\u2019s phase diagram, this occurs at around <strong>114\u00b0C<\/strong>. At this temperature and pressure, solid iodine absorbs heat and becomes liquid without a change in pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>c. Which state is present at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> <strong>Solid<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Explanation:<\/strong><br>Room temperature is typically <strong>around 25\u00b0C (77\u00b0F)<\/strong>, and normal atmospheric pressure is <strong>1 atm<\/strong>. On the iodine phase diagram, this condition falls <strong>within the solid region<\/strong>. Therefore, under these conditions, iodine exists as a <strong>solid<\/strong>. Notably, iodine is one of the few solids that can <strong>sublime<\/strong>, meaning it can transition directly to gas under certain conditions without becoming liquid first\u2014but at room temperature and 1 atm, it stays solid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>d. Which state is present at 186\u00b0C and 1.0 atm?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> <strong>Gas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Explanation:<\/strong><br>At <strong>186\u00b0C and 1 atm<\/strong>, iodine is <strong>above its normal boiling point (184\u00b0C)<\/strong>. This places it in the <strong>gaseous region<\/strong> of the phase diagram. Therefore, under these conditions, iodine exists as a <strong>gas<\/strong>, having already transitioned from liquid to vapor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summary Table:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Question<\/th><th>Answer<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>a<\/td><td>184\u00b0C<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>b<\/td><td>114\u00b0C<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>c<\/td><td>Solid<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>d<\/td><td>Gas<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of these answers depends on interpreting the boundaries in a phase diagram, which shows regions of stability for solid, liquid, and gas phases based on temperature and pressure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consider the phase diagram for iodine shown at the top of the next page. a.
