| Nov 15, 2023 at 15:19 | comment | added | Matt Hanson | I think you may have missed part of my question; I am not looking at a phase diagram. I am attempting to calculate the specific point (the melting point under normal ambient pressure) on it. I am aware of the arguments about chemical potential: they are the origin of the concept of chemical equilibrium in the first place. My question was specifically about whether calculating the melting point through the comparison of vapor pressures of the solid and liquid phases at various temperatures would give the relevant point on the coexistence curve. | |
