Solution Summary

To answer this question I found a phase diagram on the Internet and added a few lines myself, the horizontal line starting at 1 atm will be the situation for your question part (a). For part (b) I drew a horizontal line at ~10 atm. The curve will now have 2 plateaus, one for the first phase changing from solid to liquid, and then at a much higher temperature changing from liquid to gas.
