What temperature is water as ice, water and steam? I heard something about it on the program "QI" but I cant remember the answer.

The single combination of pressure and temperature at which water, ice, and water vapour can coexist in a stable equilibrium occurs at exactly 273.16 kelvins (0.01 °C) and a pressure of 611.73 pascals (ca. 6 millibars, .006037 Atm).

0.01 Degrees C is the only temperature.
It is the temperature and pressure that occurs under your Ice Skates blade, When you glide along the ice.
The one and only combination of pressure and temperature at which water, ice, and water vapour can coexist in a stable equilibrium occurs at exactly 273.16 kelvins (0.01 °C)
and a pressure of 611.73 pascals (ca. 6 millibars, .006037 Atm).
At that point, it is possible to change all of the substance to ice, water, or steam by making infinitesimally small changes in pressure and temperature.

simple 2 remember in metric
ice forms at 0 °C
steam forms at 100 °C
> in-between is water
>> mind these are at ntp, normal temperature & pressure
lemme try imperial
32 °F - ice
212 °F - steam
______________
if u mean "tripple point" > co-exist
0.01 °C

(would translate to 32.018 °F)

Ice = 0* Centigrade at sea level
Water= 1* Centigrade " " "
Water Boils at 100* Centigrade " " "
Here at 3000 feet elevation water boils about 97*C.
I also recall watching a video in Physics where water changed states immediately when boiled in a vaccum. So, if it is water boiled in a vaccum you will have instantaneous change of states at about 107* centigrade.

the triple point of water is what you're looking for. it's a temperature at a certain pressure btw/ i don't remember what it is though...
also. it's not 32 degrees. these guys are idiots

It's 32F or 0C at standard atmospheric pressure. The triple point of water is pressure dependent.

ice 32*F or less, Liquid 33*F - boiling point, gas anything above boiling point that causes steam to form

32 deg F

If you lower the pressure sufficiently, it will be a gas, liquid and solid all at once. I HAVE DONE THIS!! It requires a vaccuum pump, though.
