Yes, in a very general sense, freezing and melting are at 0 deg C. However, pressure comes into play and in some case of a triple point, there can be water vapor, liquid water and ice in the same system, at essentially the same temperature.

A liquid changes back into a solid by freezing at what point?

The FREEZING POINT ----- which for a pure substance (as opposed to a mixture)is the same thing as the melting point since they are both the point at which the liquid phase of a substance would be in equilibrium with the solid. For a mixture, the two would be different and you would get a freezing point range that started at the freezing point and ended at the melting point

Why the freezing point of liquid is same as melting point of solid?

The freezing point and melting point of a substance are both defined as the temperature at which liquid and solid phases of the substance can remain together at equilibrium.


Why is zero degrees referred to as the melting point of water instead of the freezing point?

It's both! Generally, people talk about water going from ice to water to gas instead of the other way around. Freezing point = melting point (The scientific names: melting - fusion, freezing - crystallization)

How does salt raises the melting point of water?

It doesn't increase the melting point of ice, instead, it lowers it. When a solute (which is the salt) is added to a solvent (which is what dissolves it), the boiling point is increased while both the freezing and melting points are decreased. This is evident in the boiling point elevation and the freezing/melting point depression system.


How do the melting point and the freezing point of a substance compare?

Both indicate the temperature at which the solid and liquid states of a substance are in equilibrium.
