Chapter 13, Problem 24E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The three forms of ice which are present at the triple point, comparison of the density of ice II with ice I should be identified along with whether the ice III float or sink in the liquid water should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Pressure is inversely related to volume as follows:

$\text{P }=\text{ nRT }/\text{ V}$

With the increase in pressure, the volume of the matter decreases whereas, with a decrease in pressure, the volume increases.

Similarly, density and volume also inverse to each other as follows:

$\text{d}=\text{ m}/\text{V}$
