Interpretation:
The triple point on a phase diagram is to be described.
Concept Introduction:
A phase diagram is a graphical representation of a substance's physical state under various pressures and temperatures.
Answer to Problem 29LC
The triple point denotes the lowest pressure at which a liquid phase can coexist in equilibrium with a solid or vapor.
Explanation of Solution
Phase diagrams show how variations in the physical
The triple point in the phase diagram is the point at which all the three-phases coexist in equilibrium. Thus, the triple point denotes the lowest pressure at which a liquid phase can coexist in equilibrium with a solid or vapor.
