One of these can be used to determine whether a liquid crystal has isotropic, smectic, or nematic ordering, while the "binary" variety contains a representation of the eutectic point.
One of these can be used to determine whether a liquid crystal has isotropic, smectic, or nematic ordering, while the "binary" variety contains a representation of the eutectic point. The slope of the boundaries on them is equal to latent heat divided by the product of temperature and change in volume according to the Clausius-Clapeyron equation; that change, the slope of the coexistence curve, is oddly negative for water. They can be used to identify the conditions for deposition or to find a substance's critical point and triple point. For 10 points, name this type of graph, usually plotting pressure against temperature, that shows when a substance will be a solid, liquid, or gas.
