This graph shows the phase change for water.

Question

the image shows a large L shape and from the bottom corner of the L shows a stair like zig zaggy line going in a upward direction A is the lowest then B then C and D is the highest and the thing about B is its inside the zig zaggy line whilst the other letters or like on a step and on the side of the large L shows the word Temperature and on the bottom Energy.

Which section of this graph would represent the liquid state of water?

Answer 1

The section that represents the liquid state of water in the graph you described is section B.

In a typical phase change diagram for water, the areas are defined as follows:

• A is the solid state (ice).
• B represents the liquid state (water).
• C is the area where water is transitioning from liquid to gas (vaporization).
• D represents the gaseous state (steam).

Since you mentioned that B is inside the zig-zag line, which corresponds to the liquid phase, that confirms that B is indeed the correct answer.
