Abstract
CAN any of your readers tell me what is the critical temperature of water. I find in the supplement to Jamin and Bouty's “Cours de Physique” the critical temperature given as 370° C. and the corresponding pressure as 195˙5 atmospheres. On the other hand, Cagniard-Latour gave this temperature as equal to the melting point of zinc, which is known to be about 415° C.
