Part A
To find the critical point's temperature, we analyze the phase diagram. The critical point is the end of the liquid - gas equilibrium curve. From the diagram, the critical point's temperature (looking at the x - axis which is temperature in °C) is around 100 °C (option C). The other options (75 °C, 15 °C, 2 °C) do not match the position of the critical point on the phase diagram.
STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure) has a pressure of 1 atm. We look at the liquid - gas equilibrium curve (the curve where phase change between liquid and gas occurs) at a pressure of 1 atm. From the phase diagram, the temperature at which the pressure is 1 atm on this curve is around 80 °C? Wait, no, wait. Wait, the x - axis is temperature. Wait, the curve for liquid - gas: at 1 atm (y - axis = 1.0 atm), the temperature on the curve. Wait, looking at the diagram, the point on the liquid - gas curve at 1 atm: the x - axis (temperature) at that point. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the options: A is 60, B is 25, C is 100, D is 80. Wait, the liquid - gas curve: the boiling point at STP (1 atm) is the temperature where the vapor pressure equals 1 atm. From the phase diagram, the point on the liquid - gas curve at 1 atm (y = 1.0) has x (temperature) around 80? Wait, no, maybe the correct answer is D? Wait, no, let's re - check. Wait, the phase diagram: the x - axis is temperature from 0 to 125, y - axis pressure from 0 to 3. The liquid - gas curve (the curved line) has a point at 1 atm (y = 1) and x around 80? Wait, the options: D is 80 C. So the boiling point at STP (1 atm) is 80 C (option D).
