The triple-point of water is a standard fixed point in modern thermometry. Why? What is wrong in taking the melting point of Ice and the bothing point of water as standard fixed points as was originally done in the Celsius scale) ?

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.

The resistance of a thermometer is 100 Omega at the triple point of water ( 273 K) and is 300 Omega at the melting point of gold (~873K). The temperature at which the resistance of the thermometer is 200Omega is
