Solution

The correct option is D three
In thermodynamics, the triple point of a substance is the temperature and pressure at which the three phases (gas, liquid, and solid) of that substance coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium. So, at triple point of water the number of phases exists are three.

Q. For many substances, there exists a temperature

T_{t r}

. and a pressure ptr at which all the three phases of a substance (gaseous, liquid, and solid) are in equilibrium. These temperature and pressure are known as the triple point. For example,

T_{t r} = {0.0075}^{\circ} C

p_{t r} = 4.58 m m

Hg for water. The latent heat of vaporization of water at the triple point is

q = 2.48 \times 10^{3} k J / k g

, and the latent heat of fusion of ice is

λ = 0.34 \times 10^{3} k J / k g
