  1. Clausius Clapeyron Relationship

    Linked via "crystalline ice structures"

    Where $Lf$ is the latent heat of fusion, and $vs$ is the specific volume of solid water (ice).
    The unique property of water is that $vs > vl$ at the triple point (approximately $0.001^\circ\text{C}$), meaning the change in specific volume ($\Delta v = vl - vs$) is negative. Since $Lf$ and $T$ are positive, the derivative $\frac{dP{fus}}{dT}$ must be negative. This implies that increasing pressure *lo…
