Triple point


In physics and chemistry, the triple point of a substance is the temperature and pressure at which three phases (gas, liquid, and solid) of that substance may coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium.

Tripel point is The temperature and pressure at which a substance can exist in equilibrium in the liquid, solid, and gaseous states. The triple point of pure water is at 0.01 degrees Celsius and 4.58 millimeters of mercury and is used to calibrate thermometers.



Triple point is the intersection on a phase diagram where three phases coexist in equilibrium. The most important application of triple point is water , where the three-phase equilibrium point consists of ice, liquid, and vapor. Before discussing triple point further, a basic understanding of the lines from Figure 1, the phase diagram of water, are first considered. 

For example like fridge. In fridge there are three condition. Ice, steam and water (gas, liquid, and solid) . So fridge is an example for triple point.

  1. is this always happen in water ? what about another matter could it be ???

  2. as I tell in this article. triple point only happend on 3 phases (gas, liquid and solid). so triple point can't happend only water, but must be another matter like gas or liquid.

  3. sorry in advance I want to ask
    why to calibrate thermometers use pure water and mercury???

  4. your blog very nice.

    Why triple point occur?
    Can you give more examples of the triple point, and what are the benefits:)

  5. yeah I like your blog dis :)

    oh ya, please explain how the process of the triple point ?

  6. Assalamu'alaikum wr wb.
    is it possible we can see the tripple pint by our eyes?

  7. Assalamu'alaikum diska
    nice article, i want to ask you,is thre any relation between triple point with "skala mutlak"?
    Thank You
