How fast it freezes has much to do with the surface area of the water and how rapidly the cooling medium (usually air) can circulate over that surface. The actual temperature of the cooling medium is irrelevant as long as it can lower the temperature to 32°F /0° C and remove the remaining "heat of fusion" to allow ice crystals to form.

∙ 9y agoHow fast water freezes will vary depending on different variables. How much water is being frozen is one variable. Another variable is what temperature the water was at when the experiment started.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoWater freezes at 0 degrees Celsius/centigrade and 32 degrees Fahrenheit. However, the entire surrounding premises must also be at zero for this to be completely accurate.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThat totally depends on the temperature of the water
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoSalt water freezes at about 28.4 degrees Fahrenheit, because of the salt in it. Salt water becomes more and more dense as it becomes colder, right down to its freezing point.

How does snow turn into ice?
when H2O (water) hits snow it turns to ice
What is scientific term when ice turns to water?
melting
What happens to water when it is allowed to cool down below 0 degrees Celsius?
A change of phase from the liquid water to solid water (ice); the physical properties are of course different. The molecules in the unfrozen water are moving fast, but as it starts to cool off, the molecules begin to slow down until they don't move at all, thus, freezing.
Where does the white go when ice melts?
The white doesn't go anywhere when ice melts. When ice melts, its turns into water. Ice is just frozen water.
How does ice build on a lake?
water freezes from the outside to the inside. when a lake freezes, the top turns to ice first.
What is the trick behind making water to ice in 5 seconds?
There is not a specific trick that turns water to ice in 5 seconds. The temperature around the water and ice is what determines how fast the water will freeze.
Does water change into ice at its boiling point?
No, it turns into steam. Water turns into ice at its freezing point.
What does melting ice do?
Melting ice turns the ice into water.
What will be cause if the water becomes ice?
if water turns into ice, it will have frozen.
When a solid turns into liquid what is that called?
Melting. Think of ice. When you melt ice, it turns into a liquid, when you freeze ice it turns into a solid. Improved: Melting. Think of ice. When you melt ice, it turns into WATER (a liquid), when you freeze (ice) WATER it turns into a solid, WHICH IS CALLED 'ICE'.
How is water and ice the same thing?
Because if ice melts it turns into water
Water in space turns into this?
ice
When water freezes?
It turns to ice.
When it freezes water turns into?
ice
How do you make water into ice?
by heating it it turns into water
What is it called when water vapor turns to ice?
Ice Fog
What is a big battle in fire and ice?
Ice because if ice melts i turns into water which extigwishes fire. Fire because when ice melts and turns into water the fire makes it evaporate.
