How does the freezing temperature of water compare to its melting temperature?
Sol123
The freezing point of water is a defined temperature point. For practical purposes you may regard this as 0 deg C or 273 Kelvin. Melting and freezing points are the same.
Usually a scientist could refer to the Triple Point, the temperature at which water could co-exist in each of its three phases, solid, liquid and vapour.
[Due to a re-definition of the conditions of measurement, the new number is 273.16K, that is why "practical purposes" appears above. Unless you are in Meteorology, don't bother about the difference.]

How do the melting point and the freezing point of a substance compare?
Both indicate the temperature at which the solid and liquid states of a substance are in equilibrium.
What is the shape of the graph at the melting and freezing points of water what does this shape tell you about the temperature?
you got to find out yourself
What is freezing point and melting point of a tennis ball?
The freezing temperature of water is 32 degrees feranheit. I'm not sure what the melting temperature is 2nd Answer: The melting or thawing point of ice is, oddly enough, also 32 degrees Fahrenheit. (0 degrees, Celsius)
Is freezing point of a substance is equal the melting point of the same substance?
The freezing point and the melting point both refer to the temperature at which a substance changes between a liquid and a solid state. If other conditions remain the same, the temperature at which a substance freezes is the same temperature at which it melts. Water is an every day example with a freezing point of 0C, the same temperature as it will begin to melt. Other substances such as metals have significantly higher melting points from around 200C to more than 3000C.
What is sub freezing temperature?
temperature below freezing point of water.
How do the freezing point and the melting point of water compare?
They are identical.
What determines if water is melting or freezing at 0 degrees Celsius?
if the temperature raises then water is melting (ice becomes water),if the temperature falls then it's freezing (water becomes ice)
What will happen when you compare the freezing point and melting point of water?
By definition, they are the same!
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.
What takes longer ice melting or water freezing?
What takes longer to melt ice or freeze water?
What factors affect the melting and freezing points of water?
Temperature, atmospheric pressure and purity of the water.
How do the melting point and the freezing point of a substance compare?
Both indicate the temperature at which the solid and liquid states of a substance are in equilibrium.
What happens when water is dropped in ice?
the water will rise and will bob about before settling then melting/freezing depending on the temperature

What temperature does a phase change begin?
It will start to melt if the temperature rises above 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees FahrenheitOfficially, the melting temperature of ice is zero degrees Celsius (or 32F). The freezing temperature does vary dependent on the electrolytes added to the water solution. For example, ocean water (salt water), freezes at ~-18 degrees Celsius (or 0F). Various solutions at different concentration of solute offer various degrees of melting/freezing. At 0 degrees Celsius.
