The Triple Point Of Water Challenge

This should probably be called the three phase of water. It all started as a students question, "Can you show us the triple point for water? Can you boil ice water?" Well I didn't have the equipment to actually do it. I came up with this. It is not really the triple point but it is creative. You can boil ice water. You just need to watch the movie to see how.

Boil water.... what am i a chemist ??

This is only misleading if you don't read the description - and you should always read the description for an informational video.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !! What a sham.

Dude, you're stupid. To achieve the triple point of water, you'd need a pressure of 0.006 atmospheres (near-Earth space) and a temperature of -0.098 degrees Celsius. I'm guessing that the room you were in when you did this was definitely not -0.098 degrees Celsius, and as for you conducting this experiment in near-Earth space, I think not.

@TheLastsamurai33 No. The triple point of a chemical is the temperature and pressure at which all three states of matter exists, hence the term triple point. For water it is around 0 degrees celsius and 0.61KPa.

What you are demonstrating here is a classic example that shows liquid is a bad conductor of heat not triple point of water!!!.

Hihihi.. Is that a triple point ???

[eaturfeet653]

triple point entails pressure and temperature correction. unless your sitting comfortably in an evacuated room that cant be a triple point

that was just like boiling water close to ice, they are not at the same temperature, that is not the triple point, fail experiment
