  2. Phases of ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phases_of_ice

    Ice, water, and water vapour can coexist at the triple point, which is exactly 273.16 K (0.01 °C) at a pressure of 611.657 Pa. [14] [15] The kelvin was defined as ⁠ 1 / 273.16 ⁠ of the difference between this triple point and absolute zero, [16] though this definition changed in May 2019. [17] Unlike most other solids, ice is difficult to ...

  3. Ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice

    At its melting point, ice has a Mohs hardness of 2 or less, but the hardness increases to about 4 at a temperature of −44 °C (−47 °F) and to 6 at a temperature of −78.5 °C (−109.3 °F), the vaporization point of solid carbon dioxide (dry ice).

  4. Melting point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_point

    Ice cubes put in water will start to melt when they reach their melting point of 0 °C. The melting point (or, rarely, liquefaction point) of a substance is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid. At the melting point the solid and liquid phase exist in equilibrium.

  5. Molecular solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_solid

    The characteristic melting point of metals and ionic solids is ~ 1000 °C and greater, while molecular solids typically melt closer to 300 °C (see table), thus many corresponding substances are either liquid (ice) or gaseous (oxygen) at room temperature.

  7. Sublimation (phase transition) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sublimation_(phase_transition)

    Dry ice subliming in air. Solid carbon dioxide sublimes rapidly along the solid-gas boundary (sublimation point) below the triple point (e.g., at the temperature of −78.5 °C, at atmospheric pressure), whereas its melting into liquid CO 2 can occur along the solid-liquid boundary (melting point) at pressures and temperatures above the triple ...

  8. Dry ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_ice

    The density of dry ice increases with decreasing temperature and ranges between about 1.55 and 1.7 g/cm 3 (97 and 106 lb/cu ft) below 195 K (−78 °C; −109 °F). [3] The low temperature and direct sublimation to a gas makes dry ice an effective coolant , since it is colder than water ice and leaves no residue as it changes state. [ 4 ]

  9. Phase (matter) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_(matter)

    By controlling the temperature and the pressure, the system can be brought to any point on the phase diagram. From a point in the solid stability region (left side of the diagram), increasing the temperature of the system would bring it into the region where a liquid or a gas is the equilibrium phase (depending on the pressure).
