🔍 Key Concepts

• Phase change vs. no phase change when adding heat at constant pressure • Meaning of critical point on a water/steam phase diagram • Difference between saturation conditions and conditions where liquid and vapor are no longer distinct

💭 Think About

• On a temperature–pressure (T–P) diagram for water, what happens to the distinction between liquid and vapor as you approach the top of the saturation dome? • At saturation, if you keep adding heat at the same pressure, does the ratio of water to steam change or stay fixed? What does that tell you? • Which term refers to the specific point where liquid and vapor become indistinguishable, so further heating cannot produce more ‘steam’ from ‘water’ because there is only one phase?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you know the definition of saturation temperature/pressure for water at a given pressure. • Verify which option name is used in thermodynamics to describe the point at the top of the saturation dome (end of the liquid–vapor coexistence line). • Eliminate any answer choices that are not standard thermodynamic terms from a water/steam phase diagram.
