If the melting point of ice at a given place is `0^(@)C`, the atmospheric pressure at that place is _______

Text Solution

The correct Answer is:
To determine the atmospheric pressure at a place where the melting point of ice is 0°C, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Melting Point of Ice The melting point of ice is the temperature at which ice changes from solid to liquid. Under normal atmospheric conditions, this melting point is 0°C. ### Step 2: Recognize Normal Atmospheric Conditions Normal atmospheric conditions are defined as a temperature of 0°C and a pressure of 1 atmosphere (atm). This is the standard reference point for many physical properties, including the melting point of ice. ### Step 3: Relate Melting Point to Atmospheric Pressure Since the problem states that the melting point of ice at the given place is 0°C, we can conclude that the atmospheric pressure at that place is the same as the standard atmospheric pressure, which is 1 atm. ### Step 4: Conclusion Thus, if the melting point of ice at a given place is 0°C, the atmospheric pressure at that place is **1 atm**. ---
