// Chemical potential/phases A substance has three phases: gas, liquid, and solid. The chemical potentials of various phases are illustrated below. T (K) 1) For a given temperature, which of the sta...
Liquid nitrogen is often used as an effective coolant, as its boiling temperature is far below the freezing temperature of water. Specifically, the boiling point of liquid nitrogen is 77.0 K. A 0.650-kg block of iron at an initial temperature of 293.15 K is immersed in an insulated bath of liquid nitrogen with an initial temperature of 77.0 K. After the iron and the liquid nitrogen reach a state of thermal equilibrium, the iron block has cooled to a final...
