RE: Can a liquid boil and freeze at the same time?

in #science8 years ago

It is pretty difficult to control at the triple point as once the substance boil off, the vapor pressure suddenly change aside from the vaporization energy. As a result the equilibrium is difficult to control consistently; but I guess this is one of the best demonstrations I had seen in the internet :DD

@mcw Thank you. The exact equilibrium is difficult to maintain, even at the starting point of this experiment. It uses rough values, which is good enough for a physical demonstration.
