What happens to water when it reaches 0 degrees celsius?

Answer 1

At normal atmospheric pressure, water begins to freeze (turn into solid ice) at zero degrees centigrade.

ACTUALLY:

If saturation occurs at temperatures between 0 degrees Celsius and -4 degrees Celsius , the surplus water vapor invariably condenses into

SUPERCOOLED WATER(water having a temperature below the melting point of ice, but nonetheless existing in a liquid state).

Ice does not form within this range of temperatures.

Answer 2

The freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. The conversion formulas: °F = °C × 9⁄5 + 32 °C = (°F − 32) × 5⁄9

Answer 3

Nothing, unless it is heated up or cooled down. Assuming it is pure water at 1 atm. pressure, heating it up will cause an increase in 1 degree Celsius of each 1 gram of water with the input of 1 calorie of heat. Two(2) calories of heat will increase the temp. of each 1 gram of water to 2 degrees Celsius and so on up to 100 degrees Celsius (water's boiling point at 1 atm. pressure). It requires the loss of 80 calories from each 1 gram of water at 0 degree Celsius to convert it to ice at 0 degrees Celsius.

Answer 4

That all depends on air pressure. At sea level, water will freeze at 0 degrees celsius. On a mountain or below sea level, the air pressure will be different and water may be in different states.

Answer 5

Assuming absolutely nothing else-- only that you have water at a stable and exact zero degrees Celsius with no further exchange of heat, then the water will remain water indefinitely.

Answer 6

Nothing much. Zero on the Fahrenheit scale is the freezing point of the saltiest solution that can be made; so almost always at 0 F any water is already ice.

Answer 7

Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and 0 degrees Celsius, when converted is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. if that gives a better explanation.

Answer 8

The freezing point of pure water is 0 0C.
Adding solutes in water the freezing point is lowered.

Answer 9

Pure water become a solid (ice) at 0 0C.

Answer 10

Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius.
