  2. B \(273.16 \mathrm{~K}\)
  3. C \(273.16^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\)
  4. D \(0.15 \mathrm{~K}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(273.16 \mathrm{~K}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In thermodynamics, the triple point of water is that temperature and pressure at which water can exist in equilibrium in the liquid, solid and gaseous states. The triple point of pure water is temperature of \(273.16 \mathrm{~K}\) and pressure of \(611.2 \mathrm{~Pa}\).
