Water can not boil at its freezing point. Water can only boil at its boiling point. These are two contradictory points in temperature that would cancel each other out.

No. But it can be heated up to the boiling point(100 degrees Celsius) (212 degrees Fahrenheit) from any temperature. REMEMBER: As the altitude/height increases ,boiling temperature of water decreases.eg. At the altitude/height of 20,000 meters from earth surface,boiling temperature of water will be 40 degree celsius

freezing water is not good for your body , but boiling water is because , your boiling out all the bad stuff out of the water what i do is boil the water for 4-5 mins , and then , put it in the freezer , and it would be nice and cold : ) #yummy !


Do salt water boil faster than non salt water?

Adding a salt to a substance changes its boiling and freezing points, but it lowers its freezing point and raises its boiling point. So, salt water actually takes more heat to boil because the salt has raised the boiling point.


Can water boil at freezing point?

Solid to gas transformational phenomenon is called sublimation not boiling.


Will salt water boil at a higher temperature than non salty water?

Yes. Adding salt to water elevates the boling point and depresses the freezing point


How can one differentiate between water and alcohol with tasting or smelling it?

Boil/Freeze it. The alcohol will have a higher boiling point and lower freezing point than the water will.


Does sugar water boil at 100 degrees Celsius?

(At sea level) no. Sugar raises the boiling point as well as lowering the freezing point.


How does antifreeze affect the freezing point of water?

it lowers the temperature by forming hydrogen bonds that allow it to melt and boil faster


How are boiling and freezing points of a sample of water affected when salt is dissolved in the water?

the freezing and boiling points rise significantly- this is why when you boil water in a saucepan, like for pasta, it is advised that you put salt in the water so that the water boils at a higher temperature, thus allowing you to heat the water to a higher temperature. hope this helps


What affects freezing point?

The factors that affect the freezing point of water are 1. pressure : the pressure on the liquid may alter the freezing point. 2. impurities : the impurities in water such as salt, sugar etc also alters the freezing point.
