Re: phase change
Usually the problem will tell you when a phase change occurs, or if on a phase diagram the temperature remains constant but enthalpy increases, the energy in crease was used for the phase change of the compound.

Re: phase change
Like the diagram in class, you can tell that there is a phase change when the heat or enthalpy is increasing, but the temperature is not increasing, or delta T is zero.

Can the enthalpy increase AND the temperature remains the same while there still not being a phase change? Like I'm imagining the enthalpy of water at a positive value but without becoming a gas? Is that possible?

I was wondering the same thing. Would any change in either of these, no matter to what degree, result in a phase change? Or is there an explicit threshold for each phase with regards to the reaction?

I believe because enthalpy is a state function there are explicit thresholds for each phase which is why, when plotted, it is a step diagram. That is how I understood it, there could be a different explanation

That is how I initially believed it to be. Are all diagrams for phase changes step diagrams?
