triple point of water is chosen as standard fixed point because in this point it represent a unique value of pressure and temperature at which solid,liquid,gases states of the substance are equally stable and co-exist.

Its called the triple point because that's the conditions under which water can exist stably as a solid, a liquid, and a gas.

Can a material be both liquid and gas at the same time?
Water can do this and the temperature at which it occurs is called the triple point.
What is the triple point of water?
The triple point of a phase diagram is the location where the solid, liquid, and gas phases meet; it is the temperature and pressure at which a given substance can assume any of the 3 usual phases of matter.
What is the relationship between the triple point of water and the si unit for temperature?
kkk
What is the melting point of water?
The same as the freezing point 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius.
What is the point of water called?
Its melting point
Why is 0 degree Celsius called as triple point?
In triple point,all phases of water, vapour,Liquid water and ice is @ equilibrium.
How many phases of water are in equilibrium at the triple point?
Triple = 3
Can a material be both liquid and gas at the same time?
Water can do this and the temperature at which it occurs is called the triple point.
What is The point at which the vapor pressures of a substance in gas liquid and solid form are in equilibrium is called the .?
"triple point" or "triple"
What is triple point water?
The triple point of water is zero degree Celsius this is because 1)zero degree Celsius is the melting point of ice. 2)water changes from liquid to solid in zero degree Celsius.
Can the 3 states of water all be present at the same time?
yes it is called the triple point and it is 273.16 K and 611.73 pascals
Water at 0 degree is in which state?
Until recently, this would have been, by definition, the triple point - where water is in three states (solid, liquid or vapour). However, the defined temperature for triple point is now 0.01oC. However, for practical purposes water is at the triple point and could be in any of the three states.
What is the point where pressure and temperature are just right for all three phases to exist at once on the phase diagram called?
This point is call the "triple point" and this is where all three lines meet together on the phase diagram.
Temperature of 273 k is temperature at which what does what?
Triple point of water, where water freezes/melts
What is the triple point of water?
The triple point of a phase diagram is the location where the solid, liquid, and gas phases meet; it is the temperature and pressure at which a given substance can assume any of the 3 usual phases of matter.
Write short notes on triple point of water?
Triple point is a point on the phase diagram representing a particular pressure and temperature at which the solid, liquid, and vapour can co-exist in equilibrium.For water the values of pressure and temperature corresponding to Triple point are 4.58 mm of hg(610.42pa),273.16K.There are three lines drawn on the phase diagram.They are:1. Ice Line2. Steam Line3. Hoar Frost Line1. Ice Line: The line PB is called Ice Line.Along the line PB the solid and water are said to be equilibrium.2. Steam Line: The line PA is called Steam line.Along the line PA the water and steam are said to be equilibrium.3. Hoar Frost Line: The line PC is called Sublimation line (or) Hoar Frost Line.Along the line PC the Ice and Steam are in equilibrium.The Intersection of these three lines is Triple point.
What happens at triple point?
One interesting use is to define a temperature standard - the triple point of water (or any substance, for that matter) is at a very precise temperature. On the other hand, the melting point or the boiling point depends on pressure.One interesting use is to define a temperature standard - the triple point of water (or any substance, for that matter) is at a very precise temperature.
