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.
What are two properties that make ethylene glycol an ideal antifreeze?
Well, when mixed in an ideal solution with water, it has a relatively high boiling point and low freezing point. Also, it doesn't cause rust/corrosion.
Water makes a good coolant because it has a . a. high specific heat c. low specific heat b. high boiling point d. low freezing point?
D. low freezing point
Does salt water freeze at a higher or lower freezing point than freshwater?
Salt water freezes at a lower temperature because the high salt content in the water lowers the freezing point but not by a lot.
How do altitude affect freezing melting and boiling points of water?
The boiling point of water is lower at high altitude; the freezing point is practically not affected.
Why does water have a relatively high boiling point and heat vaporization?
Because of strong hydrogen bonding.
What is the boiling point of antifrezze?
This coolant has a high boiling point of 370 °F and is not corrosive, solving many of water's problems including freezing.
What is meant by freezing temperature of platinum?
The freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. This is equal to 0 degrees Celsius. The freezing point of platinum is 3,214.9 degrees Fahrenheit, which is equal to 1,768.3 degrees Celsius.
Why does saltwater have a lower freezing point than fresh water?
the salt molecules interfere with the intermolecular forces and hydrogen bonds of the water molecules.
Why does silicon dioxide have such a high boiling point?
The attraction forces or the attraction between the bonds is relatively high as opposed to H2O or water which the bonds aren't as strong giving it a relatively low boiling point (: I feel like that helped :D
Why does water have an abnomally high melting point and abnormally high boiling point?
well since we as animals are basically made up of water, it takes an abnormally high boiling point because then our bodily organs wouldn't be in a stable temperature environment and we would all die of over heating or freezing.
In Celsius the boiling point of water is how much higher than the freezing point?
The freezing point of water, as defined at a standard temperature and pressure (STP) is 0.0 degrees C and the boiling point is 100.0 degrees C. So it could be said that the difference is 100.0 degrees.
