Question & Answer
Choose the Best Answer
At a specific temperature and composition where both liquid phases coexist and are in equilibrium.
Only at the critical temperature of the substance.
When one liquid phase completely evaporates into gas.
At the freezing point of the solid phase.
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
The monotectic line on a phase diagram shows a specific temperature and composition where two liquid phases separate and coexist in equilibrium. Other options are incorrect because People often think the monotectic separation happens at the critical temperature, where liquid and gas merge; Evaporation turns liquid into gas, not into another liquid.

Definition
Phase diagrams in Chemistry represent the states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) of a substance at different pressures and temperatures. They show how state transitions occur, such as melting, boiling, and sublimation, providing a visual guide to understand the behavior of substances under varying conditions.
