yes because the pure water does not contain the nuclei that it needs to freeze

How does flash freezing work?
flash freezing works when water is cooled below its freezing point to form supercooled water. when ice is added ice crystals instantly form around the ice to create a flash freeze
How does vapour pressure of supercooled water compare with that of ice at the same temperature?
It would be lower.
What is a supercooled solution?
A supercooled solution is something solid,cold, and made up of alchol.
What water will not freeze?
Sea water will not freeze.
What is supercooled water?
I know it sounds a little stupid, but supercooling is when water remains a liquid while it is below freezing point. Note, only some waters can do this.
Why can water stay liquid below freezing?
Yes, with the addition of a solute or by increasing pressure water can be kept liquid below its normal freezing point. Water can also be supercooled, but will freeze instantly if it is disturbed.
When you snap freeze supercooled water would the purity of the water affect it?
yes, i don't have any way 2 prove it 2 u but the answer yes.
I know about the freeze your bottle of water by shaking it or slamming it against a table but why and or how does it work?
It works if the water is supercooled, and the shock provides a nucleation site and a variance in pressure.
When supercooled raindrops freeze on contact with solid objects?
ice
Witch freeze faster cold water or hot water?
I believe hot water freezes faster because it is supercooled. Cold water is non-supercooled. When cold water freezes ice crystals form and float to the top, forming a layer of ice over the top of the water, so the layer of ice stops evaporation . While the hot water, which is probably no longer hot in the freezer,when it does freeze, it freezes throughout, creating more or less of a slush before freezing solid.
What is water that stays liquid form at temperature below freezing called?
Supercooled.
What forms when supercooled raindrops freeze on contact with solid objects near earth's surface?
no it is glaze
What is formed when water freezes onto falling snowflakes?
Graupel, also called soft hail or snow pellets, refers to precipitation that forms when supercooled droplets of water are collected and freeze on a falling snowflake.
Can tap or spring water be supercooled?
In order for water to be supercooled, there must not be impurities that can act as nucleation sites within the water. Spring water should work, though tap water would more than likely need to be purified before it would be supercooled, as by reverse osmosis.
How does flash freezing work?
flash freezing works when water is cooled below its freezing point to form supercooled water. when ice is added ice crystals instantly form around the ice to create a flash freeze
Why do cumulonimbus clouds bring hail?
Inside a cumulonimbus cloud air move up in what is called an updraft. If this updraft is strong enough, it can keep ice pellets suspended in the air. At these heights, temperaures are always very cold, however, droplets of supercooled water exist. These droplets consist of water that remains liquid below the normal freezing point and will freeze instantly if disturbed. These droplets freeze to the surface of the ice pellet, causing it to grow into a hailstone. Eventually, the hailstoen grows to heavy to remain suspended and falls to the ground.
What is a sentence for the word factors?
The temparature at which supercooled water freeze is an important factor in cloud information.
