A liquid at the freezing point might remain a liquid indefinitely if no more heat is removed. A liquid in frozen state might remain frozen indefinitely, too. If the liquid is very pure, it might remain a liquid even when carefully brought below the freezing point. It would shift phases if some impurity or movement disturbs the liquid. If enough additional heat (heat of fusion) is removed from a liquid at the freezing point then the liquid will freeze without changing temperature. If a frozen liquid has the heat of fusion added to it, it will melt without changing temperature.

∙ 13y agoWhen a liquid reaches its freezing point (0C) it freezes and turns into a solid, but when the solid reaches melting point (0C) it turns into a liquid again.

Which type of liquid freezes the fastest?
Freezes the fastest can be of 2 mean. For liquid to reach the freezing point first, the liquid with higher molecular mass or stronger intermolecular force would have higher freezing point and can be considered freezing faster. But it might took quite a while to freeze at the freezing point. For liquid to become solid with the least energy transfer required. The liquid with the lowest intermolecular force would change the state faster at freezing point. But the freezing point might be extremely low.
What is the freezing point of liquid argon?
It is 83.8 K.
What is the difference between freezing and solidifying?
They are the same, though a liquid's freezing point can vary. For example, magma's freezing point is quite high, and water's freezing point is lower, at 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
When water goes from a liquid to a gas?
water goes from liquid to gas in boiling or evaporation. boiling happens when the water reaches boiling point. evaporation happens naturally when water is left outside in the open it evaporates into the clouds.
What happens to the particles when a solid is melted?
The atoms start to move around more quickly and when the solid reaches it's melting point it will turn into a liquid.
When does a liquid turn into a solid?
Liquid turns into solid when it reaches its freezing point. Example- the freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius.
When water changes from liquid to solid it reaches its?
solid state or freezing point
What does it mean when a liquid reaches its freezing point?
It means that the water will be frozen if you store it at that temperature
Can you turn a liquid into a solid by freezing it?
No, freezing changes a liquid to a solid. To change a solid to a liquid you need to apply heat. The change begins when the solid reaches its melting point.
When liquid gets cool enough it becomes a?
A liquid becomes a solid when the temperature reaches is freezing point.
What happens when matter reaches melting point?
it melts =) and becomes a liquid
What happens water freezes?
it it turns into a solid and then melts right away because if it reaches 0 Celsius it reaches its freezing point which allows the particles to disintegrate and it no longer can keep freezing.
What is happening when a substance reaches its freezing point?
Nothing. IF it continues to loose energy, then it beguines to change state from a liquid to a solid.
What happens to a gas when it reaches the condensing point?
It undergoes a phase change, and turns to liquid.
What happens to a gas when it reaches it condensation point?
It undergoes a phase change, and turns to liquid.
Will a liquid turn to gas at its freezing point?
No it would be the boiling point. At freezing point it becomes solid
When is the freezing point of a liquid?
effect of pressure and impurties on the freezing and boiling point of liquids
