The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the point where all three states (solid, liquid, and vapor) of H2O exist, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the States of Matter**: - Water can exist in three states: solid (ice), liquid (water), and vapor (steam). 2. **Identifying the Unique Point**: - There is a specific condition of temperature and pressure where all three states can coexist in equilibrium. This condition is known as the "triple point." 3. **Defining the Triple Point**: - The triple point is defined as the unique set of conditions at which all three phases of a substance can coexist. For water, this occurs at a specific temperature and pressure. 4. **Finding the Values for Water**: - For water (H2O), the triple point occurs at: - Temperature: 273.16 K (or 0.01 °C) - Pressure: 4.58 mm Hg 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the point where all three states of H2O exist is known as the "triple point." ### Final Answer: The point where all three states (solid, liquid, and vapor) of H2O exist is known as the **triple point**. ---
