Triple point

What is triple point?

The temperature and pressure at which a substance can exist in equilibrium in solid, liquid and gaseous state.

The triple point of water was used to define the kelvin, the base unit of thermodynamic temperature for SI units.

Major physics concept

Thermodynamics

Condition of triple point is 273.16 K ( 0.01 C ),
611.73 pascal.

Thermodynamics

Deals with heat and other forms of energy

Deals with relationships between energy

Can be applied in physics, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering and etc.

In the footage, it shows that how pressure and tempature of the water changes until it reach equilibrium of triple point.

Matter

3 types of matter

liquid

gas

solid

bond together with a strong intermolecular force

molecules packed together, maintain its shape

have definite mass , volume and shape

have enough intermolecular bonding

only have definite mass and volume

has no fixed shape and volume

very weak intermolecular bonding
