What is true about the melting point and freezing point of water?

The melting point and freezing point of water is the same at 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) under standard atmospheric pressure. This means that water will transition from solid to liquid (melting) or liquid to solid (freezing) at this temperature.


What is the freezing and melting point in Celsius?

Assuming you are talking about water, the freezing point is 0 degrees Celsius, melting point would be anything above that, and just in case you want to know, the boiling point for water is 100 degrees celsius


Is 70 degrees Celsius in a melting or freezing point?

A temperature of 70 degrees Celsius is typically well above both the melting and freezing points of most common substances. For water, its melting point is 0 degrees Celsius and its freezing point is 0 degrees Celsius as well.


What is the difference between water's freezing and melting points?

Water's freezing point is the temperature at which liquid water turns into solid ice, which is 0 degrees Celsius. On the other hand, water's melting point is the temperature at which solid ice turns into liquid water, also at 0 degrees Celsius. Both freezing and melting points occur at the same temperature but represent opposite phase changes.


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

Is solid water a physical or chemical property?

Neither. Solid water (water ice) is substance with the formula H2O. The freezing point/melting point of water is a physical property.

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 freezing chemical or physical property?

I would say that freezing point is a boiling property because there is no scientific evidence to suggest that it is or indeed ever will be a chemical property. Freezing point is a chemical reaction. Therefor this is a debatable question. Different people may have different views. This is mine."Freezing point" is usually termed as "melting point" in scientific circles. Melting point is defined as the temperature at which the solid and liquid phase of a substance coexist at equilibrium under the pressure of their own vapors. Ice and water coexist at equilibrium at temperature of 32 degrees F when only their own vapor pressures are acting upon them. However, the temperature difference at atmospheric pressure is negligible. As you can see, melting point (freezing point) only depends on the physical conditions acting on the substance, therefore, melting point (freezing point) is a physical property. Melting point is effected (lowered) by the addition of other molecules or ions to the substance. This effect is physical because it depends only upon the number of particles (molecules etc) added and no chemical reaction is required.

How does salt affect the melting and freezing point of water?

Salt decreases the freezing point of water and increases the boiling point of water.

How do the freezing point and the melting point of water compare?

They are identical.


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)


What are the freezing melting boiling and evaporation points of water?

The melting/freezing point of water is oC.The boiling point of water is 100 oC at standard pressure.Evaporation occur at any temperature.
