Question
Can liquid water exist on Vulcan? A large valley filled with a green liquid exists on Vulcan. Could the liquid be Kryptonite? Could liquid Kryptonite exist on Earth? What is the stable form of Kryptonite on Earth? What process occurs if you increase the pressure on liquid Kryptonite at a constant temperature of 70 degree C ? What process occurs if Kryptonite at 15 degree C is heated to 180 degree C on Earth? What if you heat kryptonite over the same temperature range as in (f) on the surface of Vulcan? Which is more dense, solid or liquid Kryptonite? At the present time, atmospheric pressure on Mars is 3 torr and the surface temperature varies between -22 degree C and 28 degree C . Under these conditions, can liquid water exist on Mars? As part of his PhD thesis at the Vulcan Science Academy, Mr. Spock heated Kryptonite to 160 degree C at a pressure of 15 atm. What state of Kryptonite was present under these conditions?Explanation / Answer
a) NO, heat is too much, temperature is too high, will be vapor
b) True, Kr may exist at that temperature
c) Kr in liquid form may only exist in lab conditions, at 1 atm and 25
