The number of degrees of freedom at the triple point of water is__________________?

Correct answer: A. 0

  • A. 0
  • B. 1
  • C. 2
  • D. 3

Explanation

Gibbs phase rule gives F = C - P + 2 = 1 - 3 + 2 = 0 for water at the triple point. Therefore, neither temperature nor pressure can be varied independently without eliminating one phase.
