Because 32 degrees is called the heat of fusion of water. This means that at this point water will freeze into ice if heat is taken away from the water, or ice will melt into water if heat is added to it. Technically, at any one point of this process, there is both ice and water present, it just matters whether heat is being added or taken away what the end result will be.

∙ 12y agoIt isn't a clear cut line between melting and freezing. Few things in the natural sciences are so well-defined. At 32 degrees, there is enough energy to start melting ice, but it is also cold enough for molecules of liquid water to begin congealing and crystallizing. At 32 degrees in ice water, you will have both occurring, with heat being transferred both ways.

Is H20 ice?
H2O is water. Water is ice when it freezes. Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit / 0 degrees Celsius
What happened when liquid water is exposed to 32 f?
In theory water will freeze if left at 32 F. However, that's not necessarily so. Distilled water must get much colder before it freezes, because at higher temperatures water need particulate contaminates in it to seed the crystallization process. Water contaminated with substances such as salt require lower temperatures to freeze.
In the Fahrenheit temperature scale water freezes at 0 and boils at 100?
No, water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212.
What temp does ice freeze?
Water freezes at 0oC Centigrade, as this temperature scale was based on the changing state of water i.e. freezing and boiling points.
What degree does ice begin to melt?
Ice melts at about 273.15 Kelvin
Why does ice melt when left out?
Because it is hotter than 32 degrees outside of the freezer. Water freezes at 32 degrees.
At what temperature does ice melt?
Ice melts at a temperature of 32 Fahrenheit and 0 Celsius.
Is H20 ice?
H2O is water. Water is ice when it freezes. Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit / 0 degrees Celsius
What happens at 32 fahrenheit?
Water freezes. Ice melts.
What happened when liquid water is exposed to 32 f?
In theory water will freeze if left at 32 F. However, that's not necessarily so. Distilled water must get much colder before it freezes, because at higher temperatures water need particulate contaminates in it to seed the crystallization process. Water contaminated with substances such as salt require lower temperatures to freeze.
Is ice water or salt?
Ice is water in frozen form. The temperature at which water turns into ice is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. If the temperature rises above 32 degrees, the ice will melt.
Why does a ice cube melt in a glass of water?
Because water is warmer than 32 degrees and ice is colder. Setting the glass at room temperature causes the ice to melt.
At what temperature does water expand?
when it is in the form of ice. When water freezes it expands. If a rock has a crack in it and water goes in the crack and freezes, it will expand and melt over and over. eventually it can split the rock.
What the Fahrenheit of ice freezing?
Water freezes at 32 Fahrenheit under standard pressure.
What in salt makes ice melt fastest?
"The ice cube without salt melts because the air around it is warmer than 32 degrees F. The salted cube melts faster. When you add salt it dissolves into the water of the ice cube. Salt water freezes at a lower temperature than the 32 degrees F at which freshwater freezes. The difference between the air temperature and the freezing point of salt water is bigger than the difference between the air temperature and the freezing point of freshwater. This makes the ice with salt on it melt faster." ("Salt and Ice." Salt and Ice. N.p., n.d. Web. 23 Nov. 2015.)
32 d f at which w f?
32 degrees at which water freezes 32 Degrees Fahrenheit at which Water Freezes.
32 D at which WF?
32 = Degrees at which water freezes 32 = Degrees at which water freezes
