ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

The phase diagram for water shows the pressures and temperatures for which water is in the solid, liquid, and vapor phases. The sample of water ice begins at atmospheric pressure just below the melting temperature.

a) All three curves on the phase diagram meet at a single point, the triple point, where all three phases exist in equilibrium.
