What determines the phase in which water exists by?
At this linksee the phase diagram of water.
What do the lines on a phase diagram present?
what happens to water molecules when they are heated
Where can you find diagrams for freezing point of water?
You can find a phase diagram for the phase changes in pure water including melting/freezing in the related links below.
What is diagram phase answer?
The simplest phase diagrams are pressure-temperature diagrams of a single simple substance, such as water. The axes correspond to the pressure and temperature. The phase diagram shows, in pressure-temperature space, the lines of equilibrium or phase boundaries between the three phases of solid, liquid, and gas.
Phase of matter with definite shape and volume in which the particles are arranged in a regular repeating pattern?
No, a phase is a physical characteristic. The substance may or may not have definite shape and volume.
According to the phase diagram for H2O, what happen to the phase of water at 0.5 atm pressure as the temperature is decreased from 110 C to -10 C?
Water changes from gas to liquid to a solid
According to the phase diagram for water how is the state of water determined?
The axes of any phase diagram have temperature (x-axis) and pressure (y-axis). With a temperature of 273K and a pressure of 101.325 kPa , water is at its freezing point. Now keeping the same temperature (273K) , but reducing the pressure to say , 100 Pa ,water will be a gas. Conversely, at a temperature of 373K and 101,325 kPa water is at its boiling point. However, if you increase the pressure to say 10 MPa, water remains a liquid. If you keep the same temparture 373 K and increase the pressure to 10GPa then water remains a solid. Another way is to randomly select any given point on the phase diagram, say in the Gas phase and read the temperature and pressure.
What is the unusual feature of solid to gas and gas to solid phase changes?
The three phases of matter (as classically defined) are solid, liquid and gas. Most phase changes that begin with solid and end with gas pass through the liquid phase on the way. Likewise, phase changes that begin with gas and end with solid pass through liquid on the way. Think of water... usually, from solid ice it passes first to liquid water, and only then does it evaporate to gaseous water vapor. It is sometimes possible for solid to change directly to gas. or gas change directly to solid, but these phase changes are the exception, so they can be called "unusual".
Using the phase diagram for H2O, which of the following correctly describes water at 0°C and 1 atm?
At the melting point (Explanation) if you look at the phase diagram and look at the point where the water is 0 degrees C and 1 atm, they meet right on the line. This is the line that shows the melting point of this substance. Therefore, since the point is on the line, water at 0 degrees C and 1 atm is at the melting point.

Is a water a universal solvent?
Water is a tremendously versatile solvent, and is often described as the closest thing that we have to a universal solvent. But no, it does not dissolve everything. The answer is NO, so therefore WATER IS NOT A UNIVERSAL SOLVENT ! And the most important characteristic of water as a solvent is that water has a polar molecule.
Why water should be called liquid?
water can have different states. you can read a phase diagram of water to see that only within a certain temperature and pressure for water to be in liquid state ~Also: You are able to get wet by it and it has no definite shape.
