Step-by-step explanation:

Critical Point :

  • It's the end point of equilibrium curve .
  • It's typically higher than standard temperature.
  • pressure is also higher than standard pressure.

Triple Point :

  • It's point where the three equilibrium curves meet.
  • Temperature is lower than standard temperature.
  • pressure is lower than standard pressure.

Additional points :

  • The triple point represents combination of pressure .

Answer:

The triple point represents the combination of pressure and temperature that facilitates all phases of matter at equilibrium. The critical point terminates the liquid/gas phase line .
