As O2(l) is cooled at 1 atm pressure, it freezes to form solid A at 54.5 K. At a lower temperature, solid A rearranges to solid B, which has a different crystal structure. Thermal measurements show that for the phase transition of solid A to solid B, ΔH = - 743.1 J mol-1 and ΔS = - 17.0 J K-1 mol-1.  At what temperature solids A and B attain equilibrium?
  1. 2.06 K
  2. 31.5 K
  3. 43.7 K
  4. 53.4 K

Answer

(C) 43.7 K
