Different states of same substance are due to the difference in
Different states of same substance are due to the difference in
- A. temperature
- B. pressure
- C. either temperature or pressure
- D. none of the above
Step-by-step solution
The state of a substance (solid, liquid, gas) depends on both temperature and pressure. Changing either can cause a phase transition. For example, increasing temperature can melt a solid, while decreasing pressure can cause boiling. Thus, differences in state arise from variations in either temperature or pressure.
