Define the term Melting point.

A gas thermometer measures the temperature from the variation of pressure of a sample of gas. If the pressure measured at the melting point of lead is 2.20 times the pressure measured at the triple point of water find the melting point of lead.

Which has the highest melting point ?

Ice, water and steam co-exist at triple point temperature 273.16 K and pressure 4.6 mm Hg In a system in which the triple point conditions of temperature and pressure exist, the pressure is increased a little while keeping the temperature constant, then the system contains.
