Is the boiling point of water the same temperature as the freezing point of water?

Yes the melting point is the same as the freezing point because it is the beginning of either processes. The temperature will stay the same until freezing or melting occurs. The temperature that it stays the same at is the freezing and melting point. Therefore, the are the same. For ex: The melting and freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius.

∙ 12y agoAt normal pressure (i.e. 1atm) water has a *freezing* point at 0'C
This is the point at which its present in its solid and liquid forms at equilibirum
By definition the freezing point and melting point are the same ( 0'C ) ['triple point' for water is at low pressure (611-612Pa (atm.P~101.3kPa for comparison)) and a bit above 0C (answerer mike was 'closer' on right about that one) thanks wikipedia, Google, and thank God for the info
they *should* be the same for water and typically 'crystalline' solids/materials like metals most of the time, many ceramics, water, etc. for more complex materials like 'polymers', there's several temperatures 'in question', *possibly* a softening pt., glass transition, (re)crystallization temp., melting pt., etc. Gof Forgive be i 'off' PLGB
however, nucleating solids often requires a 'critically sized' seed crystal or an impurity or something of that sort that water 'favors' for nucleating ice, sometimes a disturbance like a vibration or something, etc. 'pure water' can be, God Willing, 'supercooled' and remain liquid for several degrees....in some metals (thanks dr. doherty and thank God) this nucleation process can often 'require', or at least be done at, several tens or maybe even hundreds of degrees 'undercooling' also, freezing pt. of water can be depressed by several impurities (thanks various and thank God), though pressure aside, only e-how thus far lists things that may raise this point. however, these actions, at least the former, change both the melting and freezing pt of water ('fusion' pt, one temp. God Willing), so 'it's all good' (i.e. putting salt down in the winter during snow or slush, when that God Willing remelts, it's hoped that the salt depresses it's freezing pt. so it doesn't freeze up easily again. thanks Yahoo answers person/people who mentioned that tidbit,etc., and thanks be to GOD!)....a 'eutectic' phase diagram may 'illustrate' such schematically a bit 'better' maybe (thanks dr. doherty and thanks be to GOD indeed)

∙ 15y agoYes, the melting point, and boiling point of an element are indeed the same thing. the important temperature point for an element is the boiling point
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoNo.
The freezing point of water is: 0°C, 32°F or 273.15 Kelvin
The boiling point of water is: 100°C, 212°F or 373.15 Kelvin
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoCorrect, a given substance melts and freezes at the same temperature, depending upon whether it is getting colder or getting warmer.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoYes. In general, the melting point and freezing point of a substance is the same point.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes, they are synonyms.

What is a temperature scale based on the freezing and boiling point of water?
freezing water is not good for your body , but boiling water is because , your boiling out all the bad stuff out of the water what i do is boil the water for 4-5 mins , and then , put it in the freezer , and it would be nice and cold : ) #yummy !
Does salt affect the temperature of water -boiling point - freezing point?
i would opt for the Freezing point. salt decreases the freezing point of water. so if water would normally freeze at 0C, saltwater would freeze at -3C.
What temperature does water freeze in Celsius?
Zero degrees Celsius. The Celsius temperature scale was defined with zero as the freezing point of water, and 100 as the boiling point of water. (That's for pure fresh water at sea-level atmospheric pressure. Adding impurities to the water will change the freezing and boiling temperatures, and different air pressures will change the boiling temperature of water.)
How are boiling and freezing points of a sample of water affected when salt is dissolved in the water?
the freezing and boiling points rise significantly- this is why when you boil water in a saucepan, like for pasta, it is advised that you put salt in the water so that the water boils at a higher temperature, thus allowing you to heat the water to a higher temperature. hope this helps
Does freezing temperature change at higher altitudes?
Elevation has minimal affects on the freezing point of water as it doesn't deal with gas molecules as boiling does. Elevation affects the boiling point of water because the air pressure changes with elevation.
What is the temperature scale based on the freezing and boiling point of water?
Celsius scale with freezing point of water = 0 oC boiling point of water = 100 oC
What was the boiling point of water as measured using the römer temperature scale?
His temperature scale set the boiling point of water at 60 and the freezing point at 7.5.
On the celsius temperature scale how many degrees are between freezing and the boiling point of water?
Freezing = 0 Boiling = 100
What is boiling and freezing point?
Freezing point is the temperature required to turn a liquid into a solid. Boiling point is the temperature required to turn a liquid into a gas. Almost everything has a freezing and boiling point. If you mean water well The freezing point is 0oC The boiling point is 100oC If you add a bit salt to the water to make saline then the freezing point is changed and lowered somewhere in the region of -10c (which is why we salt grit our roads in winter)
What are the freezing melting boiling and evaporation points of water?
The melting/freezing point of water is oC.The boiling point of water is 100 oC at standard pressure.Evaporation occur at any temperature.

How does adding salt to water affect the temperature?
It does not affect the temperature of the water, but solutes raise the boiling point and lower the freezing point.

How does frozen pure water behave?
Pure water has a freezing temperature of 0 degrees and a boiling temperature of 100 degrees, unlike tap water which has impurities that can alter it's freezing and boiling point
What is the temperature of water in Celsius?
Water does not have a specific temperature. Its freezing point is 0 degrees Celcius and its boiling point in Celcius is 100 degrees.
