← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when the triple point is reached in a water purification system using fractional freezing?
A)Phase equilibrium becomes temporarily undefined
B)Latent heat ensures constant temperature✓
C)System specific heat capacity rises acutely
D)Ice crystal solute segregation accelerates rapidly
💡 Explanation
Phase equilibrium at the triple point fixes both temperature and pressure; therefore the latent heat from the phase change maintains that temperature because energy is released, rather than exhibiting undefined phase transitions which would disrupt the separation.
