If the temperature of saturated water is increased infinitesimally at constant entropy, the resulting state of water will be
- Liquid
- BLiquid-vapor coexistence
- CSaturated vapor
- DSolid
Explanation
Raising temperature at constant entropy from a saturated liquid state requires moving off the saturation curve into the compressed (subcooled) liquid region at higher pressure — the state remains liquid.
