Overview
Phase diagrams are essential tools in understanding the behavior of substances under varying conditions of temperature and pressure. They visually represent the different phases—solid, liquid, and gas—and the transitions between them, providing insights into material properties and stability. Unders...

Example: Water exists in three phases: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (steam).
Example: The water phase diagram illustrates the conditions for ice, water, and steam.
Example: In a closed container, water can evaporate and condense at equilibrium.
Example: Above the critical point, carbon dioxide cannot be liquefied.
Example: The triple point of water occurs at 0.01°C and 611.657 pascals.
Example: Adding more reactants shifts the equilibrium to produce more products.
