Suppose that at a pressure of 1 atm and temperature 300 K, a given material has two possible phases: liquid (L) and solid (S). We start the system with
N₁ = 5 moles in the liquid phase and
Ns = 9 moles in the solid phase.
For these values of pressure and temperature,
μL = 5 x 10-²1 J
Hs=9x 10-21 J.
What is the equilibrium value of N₁?
a. 9 mol
b. 14 mol
c. 1.49 mol
d. 5 mol
e. O mol
