ABSTRACT:
Water was and remains the most extraordinary substance on Earth. Until very recently, the structure and anomalous properties of water have caused heated discussions among both domestic and foreign scientists of different generations. This is due, first of all, to the complexity of the object of study, the ability of water, even with insignificant external influences, to easily pass from one metastable state to another. Of course, the state of water at the triple point on the phase diagram is of particular interest. In this regard, the paper considers the particular qualities in the pressure-temperature coordinates of some substances in the liquid state of aggregation. The authors hypothesized that all substances in a liquid state of aggregation should have common features, despite their original individuality. A universal feature that unites all possible aggregate states of water is the ability of the systems to smoothly transition from a homogeneous to a heterogeneous state. This transition from a single-phase to a two- or more phase system, that characterized by the appearance of a phase boundary under certain conditions, i.e., the formation of a dispersed system. It is especially noted in the work that until now, when analyzing the transitions of water from one state of aggregation to another, the time factor of the existence of a particular phase in an equilibrium or metastable state as well as the lifetime of the dispersed system were not taken into account. The explosive development of water sciences has led to the discovery of the unique properties of water in extreme conditions. For example, the ability of water not to freeze even with superdeep cooling, much lower than the freezing point of liquid nitrogen, or the experimentally proven fact that at -68 °C water acts as a mixture of two liquids of different densities, and others. Further advances in the study of the properties and conditions of water are inevitably associated with the convergence of natural sciences.
