The phase that a substance will assume is dependent on two factors
Temperature & Pressure
a visual representation that gives the conditions of temperature and pressure at which each phase is stable and at which phase changes occur.
Phase Diagrams
The temperature is placed along the __-axis, while pressure is placed along the __-axis.

conditions of pressure and temperature at which a phase is stable
Regions of the diagram
TRUE or FALSE: In general, the solid is stable at low temperature
and high pressure, the gas at high temperature
and low pressure, and the liquid at intermediate
conditions.
CHREW
- phase transition curve
- Equilibrium exists when two processes that are reversed of each other happen at the same rate.
Lines between regions
TRUE or FALSE: Equilibrium is commonly achieved when the system is open, so phase changes found in everyday scenarios usually are not in equilibrium.
FALSE; when the system is closed
A point in the diagram where all three phases are in equilibrium.
Triple point
al point - A point in the diagram where the densities of the liquid and gas become equal, and the phase boundary disappears.
Critical point
TRUE or FALSE: Beyond the critical temperature, a supercritical fluid (SCF) exists rather than separate liquid and gaseous phases.
true
They are homogeneous mixtures that appear as one phase
Solutions
determines what phase the entire solution will assume
Phase of the Solvent
- refers to the point at which a solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a specic temperature and pressure.
Saturations
maximum amount that dissolves in a xed quantity of a given solvent at a given temperature, when an excess of the solute is present.
solubility
contains the maximum amount of solute at a given temperature in the presence of undissolved solute.
Saturated solution
contains less than the maximum amount that can dissolve in a solvent.
Unsaturated solution
contains more solute than the solubility of that solute in a solvent.
Supersaturated solution
Liquids that cannot combine to form a solution are termed as
immiscible
