The triple point of water is

The triple point of water is
  1. \(273.16^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  2. \(273.16 \mathrm{~K}\)
  3. \(273.16^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\)
  4. \(0.15 \mathrm{~K}\)

Solution

In thermodynamics, the triple point of water is that temperature and pressure at which water can exist in equilibrium in the liquid, solid and gaseous states. The triple point of pure water is temperature of \(273.16 \mathrm{~K}\) and pressure of \(611.2 \mathrm{~Pa}\).
