What is meant by triple point ? Give the values fo triple point pressure and triple point temperature of water.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It is point in the phase diagram, representing a particular pressure and temperature at which the solid, liquid and vapout phases of the substance can co-exist. Triple point pressure of water is 0.46cm fo mercury colum or 0.006 atm. And triple point temperature of water is 273.16 K or `0.01^@C.`

    Write short note on triple point of water

    In the vicinity of the triple point the saturated vapour pressure p of carbon dioxide depends on temperature T as log p = 1 - b//T , where a and b are constants. If p is expressed in atomspheres, then for the sublimation process a = 9.05 and b = 1.80 kK , and for the vaporization process a = 6.78 and b = 1.31 kK . Find : (a) temperature and pressure at the triple point , (b) the values of the specific latent heats of sublimation, vaporization, and melting in the vicinity of the triple point.
