Phase Diagram for Water |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Phase diagrams, like this phase diagram for water, show whether a substance exists as a vapor, liquid, or solid at a given temperature and pressure. The point where the three lines intersect in a phase diagram shows the pressure and temperature where the solid, liquid, and vapor all exist in equlibrium. This point, which occurs for water at 0.01°C (32.02°F), is known as the triple point. | ||||||
