Water expands when it freezes. Ice is lighter and denser than liquid water. Ice Floats!
Most substances get denser when they turn from liquid to solid.

What is the freezing point in cooking?
The freezing point is different for differing substances. In the case of water, the freezing point at normal air pressure is 32 degrees, Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius), for cooking or otherwise.
Could freezing point depression be used for substances that are not soluble in water?
Substances which are insoluble in a given solvent do not cause a freezing point depression in that solvent.
Why does the freezing point affect the freezing of salt water?
It does not, but salt affects the freezing point. All solids are frozen. Each has a different freezing point. Ice is just the freezing point of water. But your computer keys are frozen too. Different substances freeze differently. But for your purposes, compare water to salt water. The salt in the water causes there to be more things in the water that disrupt the tight hydrogen bonds.Since freezing is tighter H-bonds, salt lowers the freezing temperature because it is harder to freeze it now since there is salt in it.
What is the freezing point of hot water?
Water, like all substances, has only one freezing/melting point, which is 0 C or 32 degrees F.
Can the melting and freezing point of a substance be the same?
For water and some other substances, the answer is 'Yes'.
What is mean by melting and boiling point?
Melting point & boiling point means the temp that things melt & boil. Water's freezing & melting point is 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius. The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Different liquids or substances have different melting, freezing, and boiling points.
Is water freezing point same for different pressures?
no
What is the problem for sugar and salt in the freezing point of water?
mixing of sugar and salt in water make a different solution . The freezing point of pure water and the solution is different due to the extra contents added in pure water.
Are the melting point of solid and freezing point of liquid of a substance different?
yes the melting point of solid and freezing point of liquid of a substance is differ but in the case of water the melting and freezing point is same.
Is it true that water would never freeze at -4C?
No, pressure affects the freezing point of substances. When you increase the presure, you lower the freezing point. So if you kept water at -4C then increased the pressure enough, the water would start to freeze
what are 5 common freezing point for substances you commonly work with?
In my company, all the substances I work with are water based and freeze within 10 degrees C of plain water.
Can dish soap keep water frozen longer?
Adding soluble substances in a liquid the freezing point is decreased.
