If the temperature of the water were 0^circ C and the pressure was above 760 mm Hg , what phase would the water be in? Gas Solid Liquid

t \(0^{\circ}C\), water is at its freezing/melting point under standard atmospheric pressure (760 mm Hg). However, if the pressure is above 760 mm Hg, the phase of water can be affected. <br /><br />Under higher pressures, the melting point of ice decreases slightly, but more importantly, the boiling point increases significantly. At \(0^{\circ}C\) and a pressure above 760 mm Hg, water would remain in the liquid phase because the increased pressure prevents it from transitioning into a gas, and it is already at the temperature where it transitions from solid to liquid.<br /><br />Therefore, the correct answer is:<br /><br />Liquid
