Argon gas has its triple point at –189.3°C and 516 mm Hg. It has a critical point at –122°C and 48 atm. The density of the solid is 1.65 g/cm3, whereas that of the liquid is 1.40 g/cm3. Sketch the phase diagram for argon and use it to fill in the blanks below with the words “boils,” “melts,” “sublimes,” or “condenses.”

(a) Solid argon at 500 mm Hg ________ when the temperature is increased.

(b) Solid argon at 2 atm ________ when the temperature is increased.

(c) Argon gas at –150°C ________ when the pressure is increased.

(d) Argon gas at –165°C ________ when the pressure is increased.
