Why the melting point equals the freezing point?

Answer 1

well water actually freezes at below 0, however at zero degrees it also begin to solidify due a phase change and also the strengthening in intermolecular forces between the stoms in water. if you want understand further look up the heating curve of water
If ice is heated, after 0 d C, it starts to melt. If water ice is kept in a refrigerator, after crossing 0 d C, it freezes. That is why, the freezing and melting point of water is same.

Answer 2

The freezing point is the same as the melting point because the two differ only in the direction from which the phase change is approached. For instance if you have ice you warm it up to O 'C so it can melt, if you have water you cool it down to O 'C so it freezes.

Answer 3

At standard pressure, 32°F/0°C is the temperature at which both water

and ice can coexist.

If you put enough heat into ice at that temperature, you get water at the

same temperature.

If you take enough heat out of water at that temperature, you get ice at

the same temperature.

It's the temperature at which both freezing and melting occur. If you have

a glass of ice water at that temperature, then freezing and melting are

both going on in the glass at the same time.

Answer 4

The melting point equals the freezing point because it is the point from which the substances goes from either liquid to solid or solid to liquid. Its standard.

Answer 5

because:

liquid freezes at the SAME temperature it melts.

Melting point and freezing point are synonyms.

Answer 6

They are not the same.

They describe a change of state of matter by the addition or subtraction of thermal energy. The temperature may be the same, the change of state is not.

Answer 7

The rate at which the substance melts determine the rate at which it freezes. other condition remain the same

Answer 8

its the same thing
