When water cools to its freezing point does it have to gain energy?

this is tricky, bcoz it depends on the waters initial temperature. water can freeze/melt at 1 degrees C, so u dont need a change of temperature for water 2 change its physical state.
if the water is initally at, lets say, 10 degrees c, then no it wont gain energy, infact it will have to release energy (think of energy as being heat, bcoz that is in fact what it is)

What happens to particles of matter when water cools off?
Under O oC water become ice (a solid).
What is 0 degrees Celsius?
It is the freezing point of water and equivalent to 32 degrees fahrenheit it is freezing! In Fahrenheit, it is 32 degrees. It is also the freezing point of water in Celsius.
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.
What si the freezing point of water?
The freezing point of water occurs at 273.15 K (at StP)
How does supercooling water work?
get really super clean water like Fiji or w\e its called and put it in a freezer to the point where it is below freezing and then when you take it out shake it and it will then freeze supercooling happens because water is to the point below freezing but the ice crystals havent formed so when u shake it then they forming it into ice
When a liquid cools to be a solid?
It is called the freezing point or crystallization point. In water it is 0 degrees Celsius

What is the property called when water heats and cools slowly?
impurity- increases boiling point, lowers freezing point. breaks the constant rate
What happens when a bottle of boiling water is surrounded by freezing water?
The boiling water cools and the freezing water warms up until they are both at the same temperature.
What does salt have to do with the freezing point of water?
Adding salt to water the freezing point decrease.
What is 0 degrees Celsius?
It is the freezing point of water and equivalent to 32 degrees fahrenheit it is freezing! In Fahrenheit, it is 32 degrees. It is also the freezing point of water in Celsius.
What kind of property is melting point and freezing point of water?
The melting point and freezing point of water are physical properties.
Does salt affect the temperature of water -boiling point - freezing point?
i would opt for the Freezing point. salt decreases the freezing point of water. so if water would normally freeze at 0C, saltwater would freeze at -3C.
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.
What si the freezing point of water?
The freezing point of water occurs at 273.15 K (at StP)
How is the freezing point of stearic acid compared to the freezing point of water?
Because water evapurates
How does the thermal property of water differ from other liquids like alcohol when the liquids are cooled from 4 degree to 0 degree?
Water is the only substance that expands as it cools. As water cools from 40C to 00C (the freezing point of water), water becomes a solid, and expands in its volume. The freezing point of alcohol is lower than water, so by simple observation, no change will appear. If you had accurate enough measuring equipment, you would see that the alcohol is taking up less volume.
