Various liquids boil at various temperatures, and "hot" is relative. Liquid nitrogen boils at -195.8º C, which seems pretty cold until you consider that liquid helium boils at around -268.9º C, depending on what isotope we're talking about, which makes -195° seems almost summery.

Water happens to boil at 100º C, which is a very good thing for us, because the range between 0 and 100º C happens to be the same as that of most of the chemical reactions necessary to support our variety of life. Freon 22, a common refrigerant, boils at -40.8 C, and so it goes.

Why do you boil lids before canning when they will be boiled during the process anyway?

Sometimes you boil the lids and sometimes you don't. If you are canning with either a hot water bath or in a pressure cooker, you do not need to boil the lids. If you are canning something that is put into the jar hot and is not going to be processed in the the bath or pressure cooker, you boil the lid to soften the rubber in the lid that forms the seal.

why did orange juice, milk and diet coke (liquids with additives) freeze first before pure drinking water? I made sure all these liquids started freezing at equal temperature, before placing them in the -2 degree freezer. Wrong, water freezes before all of those liquids because there is more space between the molecules so the cold air can reach into the liquid faster.
