Phase Diagrams Flashcards
What is the temperature and pressure at which three phases are in equilibrium?
triple point
What is a super-critical fluid?
A super-critical fluid is a fluid like a liquid and a gas, but it has s density that can vary between the two extremes of the liquid and the gas
Define triple point
the temperature and pressure at which three phases are in equilibrium
Define critical point
at temperatures and pressures greater than this point, the definition of a liquid and a gas disappear and the substance exists as a super-critical fluid (SCF)
What is the point at temperatures and pressures greater than this point, the definition of a liquid and a gas disappear and the substance exists as a super-critical fluid (SCF)?
