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 (H2O) can exist in three states: solid (ice), liquid (water), and vapor (steam). 2. **Defining the Concept**: - The point where all three states coexist is a specific condition of temperature and pressure. 3. **Identifying the Point**: - This specific point is known as the "triple point." At the triple point, the three phases of a substance can coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium. 4. **Temperature and Pressure of the Triple Point**: - For water, the triple point occurs at a temperature of approximately 273.16 K (0.01 °C) and a pressure of about 611.657 pascals. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the answer to the question is that the point where all three states of H2O exist is called the "triple point." ### Final Answer: The point where all the three states (solid, liquid, vapor) of H2O exist is known as the **triple point**. ---
