Solution

The correct option is C with a negative slope
As the melting point decreases with increase in pressure, there is negative slope when the relation between the melting point of ice and pressure is shown by ice line.

Q. The first vertical line in the diagram represents a thermometer with the melting points for ice and dry ice (melting point of ice is greater than that of dry ice) at normal atmospheric pressure. The numbered vertical lines represent possible melting points of both the substances at 10 atmospheric pressure. Which vertical line best represents the melting points of both the substances at 10 atmospheric pressure relative to the respective values at normal atmospheric pressure?
Note : The difference in temperatures are not to the scale.

Q. The melting point of solid substances is directly proportional to pressure acting on them. However, ice-melts at a temperature lower than its usual melting point, when the pressure increases. This is because :
