Talk:Ice III

-22.0°C, 207.5 MPa
"Ice-three has triple points with liquid water and ice Ih (-22.0°C, 207.5 MPa), liquid water and ice-five (-17.0°C, 346.3 MPa), ice Ih and ice-two (-34.7°C, 212.9 MPa) and ice-two and ice-five (-24.3°C, 344.3 MPa). The dielectric constant of ice-three is about 117."

It is very confusing to say that III forms "at 300 MPa by lowering its temperature to 250 K". The phase diagram shows that at 300 MPa it should form at temps a few degrees above that, at about -17 deg C. And at -22 deg C, only 207.5 MPa should be required, not 300 MPa. The article should cover all these details thoroughly, showing the exploded phase diagram at http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/water/phase.html -- should be done by someone who actually understands the subject! -69.87.203.220 (talk) 02:31, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
