Today, we had some downtime in building our rocket. We waited for quite a while to get our latch, so I decided to do a worksheet. Luckily, the worksheet that I found was on a topic that we had covered last week. Still, it was a bit challenging. I had to look up some of the key words and what they meant, so I could rightfully answer the questions. One thing that stuck out to me while doing these problems was the last question. It was referring to the phase diagram for carbon dioxide, and was asking about superficial liquid. That is when the pressure is so large that a liquid/gas-like condition exists. I was really impressed thinking about this, but madly curious at the same time. I couldn't really wrap my head around it. Also, according to the diagram, it would be immensely hot. I thought it would be like a thick fog, and amusedly wrote down that I "wanted to stick my hand in it". Seems a bit silly now. Anyways, the worksheet is down below.
