Question: Suppose that for a fixed - pressure system with pressure of 1 atm and temperature 3 0 0 K , a given material has two

Suppose that for a fixed-pressure system with 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
NL=5 moles in the liquid phase and
NS=4 moles in the solid phase.
For these values of pressure and temperature,
L=510-21J
S=910-21J.
What is the equilibrium value of NL?
(a)9 moles
(b)5 moles
(c)1.49 moles
(d)0 moles
(e)4 moles
Suppose that for a fixed - pressure system with
