Best Answer

Both melting point and freezing point define the temperature at which a material changes either from a solid to a liquid or a liquid to a solid. A material freezing or melting is the same just the reverse so they happen at the same temperature. This is sometimes not true when you get supercooling or superheating, but that is more complicated!

Does the way you freeze ice affect how long it takes to melt?

Well I know for a fact that ice will melt faster depending on how hot the temperature is.

Why is freeze thaw?

Fresh water (for instance) will freeze and turn to ice when the temperature drops below freezing point. The ice will thaw (melt back into water) when the temperature rises above freezing point.


What is the effect of adding ice to water?

Water tend's to crack and melt the ice, depending on the temperature it's at, it could freeze almost instantly.


How does ice melt at 0 degrees and water freeze at the same temperature?

ice melt at 0 degrees and water freeze at the same temperature because it cool like that. xDThe real answer is because molecules of ice are constantly escaping into the water (melting), and molecules of water are being captured on the surface of the ice (freezing).

If you put salt on ice does it freeze or get cold faster?

Salt lowers the temperature at which water freezes which would cause the ice to melt.


Does ice melting depend on temperature?

Temperature is an important factor, but temperature alone cannot predict that ice will melt. Adding the heat of fusion to ice at zero degrees centigrade will cause it to melt without elevating its temperature, and removing the heat of fusion from water at zero degrees centigrade will cause it to freeze without lowering its temperature.
