**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Definition of Triple Point:** - The triple point of a substance is defined as the specific temperature and pressure at which three phases of that substance (solid, liquid, and gas) coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium. At this point, the fusion curve (solid-liquid), vaporization curve (liquid-gas), and sublimation curve (solid-gas) intersect. 2. **Triple Point of Water:** - For water, the triple point occurs at a specific temperature and pressure. The values are: - **Temperature:** 273.16 K (Kelvin) ...
