Question

Which transition could occur if a solid is heated at apressure above the triple point pressure Condensation Deposition Melting Sublimation In which case should N2 (g) be more soluble inwater the total pressure is 5 atm and the partial pressure ofN2 is 1 atm the total pressure is 3 atm and the partial pressure ofN2 is 2 atm
the total pressure is 1 atm and the partial pressure ofN2 is 0.03 atm
the total pressure is 1 atm and the partial pressure ofN2 is 0.5 atm

Explanation / Answer

Melting can occur. At a pressure above the triple point, a solid can melt tobecome a liquid and then vaporize to become a gas. At a pressure above the triple point, a solid can no longersublimate to become a gas. A solid can't condense and they aresolids, so deposition doesn't really make sense. Hope this helps.
