Ammonia is a gas at standard conditions. However, at low temperature and/or high pressures the gas becomes a liquid. The phase diagram for ammonia shows the phase behavior with changes in temperature and pressure. The curve between the triple point and the critical point shows the ammonia boiling point with changes in pressure.
Below the triple point temperature, ammonia becomes a solid, this phase will also be present at very high pressure (> 10 000 bar) and ambient temperature.
At the critical point there is no change of state when pressure is increased or if heat is added.
The triple point of a substance is the temperature and pressure at which the three phases (gas, liquid, and solid) of that substance coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium.
