Use the phase diagram below to state what would be observed when a sample of carbon
dioxide, initially at 1.0 atm and 298 K, is subjected to the following cycle: (a) isobaric
heating to 320. K, (b) isothermal compression to 100. atm, (c) isobaric cooling to 210. K, (d)
isothermal decompression to 1.0 atm, (e) isobaric heating to 298 K.
(a) Gas is heated above Tc, but the pressure is still well below Pc, therefore, the sample
remains a gas. There is NO phase transition.
(b) The pressure is increased above Pc and temperature remains above Tc. Therefore the gas
slowly becomes a supercritical fluid. There is NO phase transition.
(c) The temperature is lowered below Tc. Initially, the supercritical fluid will become a liquid
without a phase transition occurring. Then, as the sample is cooled further, the liquid
eventually becomes a solid in a phase transition.
(d) The pressure is lowered below the solid–gas coexistence curve. The solid sample sublimes
to gas around 3.5 atm. This IS a phase transition.
(e) The gas is heated to return to its original state. There is NO phase transition.
