The triple point of water is invariant because at that point there coexist

  • A.three phases of one component
  • B.two phases of two components
  • C.one phase of three components
  • D.three phases of three components

Answer: A

Correct answer: three phases of one component

\[ F = 1 - 3 + 2 = 0. \] Ice, water and vapour coexist at one temperature and one pressure only, 273.16 K and 611 Pa. Nothing can be adjusted without losing a phase, which is what makes the point reproducible enough to define a temperature.
