What degree Fahrenheit is freezing?
32 degrees Fahrenheit 'Freezing Point' is an improper statement (i think), and the term 'Melting point' is more commonly used. Everything has a different Freezing/Melting point, so I assume you mean the Freezing/Melting point of water? This is 0 degrees Celsius, or 32 degrees Fahrenheit, or 273.15 Kelvin.

Which term is defined as the change in physical state form liquid to gas occurring throughout liquid?
The change in physical state from liquid to gas occurring throughout the liquid is called boiling. It occurs at boiling point of a liquid or when the pressure of the surroundings is reduced as per its boiling point. It boils with the use of vacuum pump and at high altitudes. Boiling Vaporization is the change in state from a liquid to a gas. Evaporation and boiling are the two types of vaporization. You are describing boiling. boiling A+: Condensation
Is celsius the same as centigrade?
They are pretty much the same. Centigrade would be a scale based on 100. Celsius is a temperature scale based on centigrade, where the freezing point of water is 0 and the boiling point of water is 100.MoreIn modern usage the two names refer to the same temperature scale. Anders Celsius was a Swedish scientist and explorer who proposed a temperature scale based on dividing the range between water's freezing and boiling points into 100 degrees. Initially he wanted 0 to be boiling and 100 to be freezing but following his death the order was inverted and became known as the centigrade scale; "centi" coming from the Latin for 100 and "grade" from the word for "step".In 1948 the International Committee for Weights and Measures officially named the scale for Celsius, mostly because the generic term "centigrade" is used for other measurements in addition to temperature but partly to match the use of Gabriel Fahrenheit's name for the American temperature scale.
What does the term mechanical weathering mean?
Mechanical or physical weathering is a process in which a rock is broken down into smaller pieces by factors such as water absorption or freezing and thawing. It can also be caused by plant root growth.
What term describes the physical change of a solid to a liquid at the melting point?
Simple: a transformation from a solid to a liquid.
What is calciums freezing and melting point?
Calcium does not have a definet freexing point but yet it has a melting point, a boiling point, and a density.
What is the term that is defined as a substance's temperature at it's known boiling point?
The boiling point.
What is meant by the medical term or ailment 'freezing point depression'?
Freezing point depression is not a medical term, but a term of physics. It refers to the scientific concept of when the freezing point of a liquid is lowered by adding something to it. For example: The freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celcius, but if salt is added to water, the freezing point is lower, and will still be a liquid at 0 degrees.
What is the term used when something breaks as a result of freezing?
freezing point.
What is the scientific definition for term normal boiling point?
At the boiling point a liquid is changed to a gas.
Does oxoygen have a boiling point?
"Oxoygen" is not a chemical term. Oxygen does indeed have a boiling point, far below standard temperature.
When was the centigrade scale discovered?
Anders Celsius, a Swedish astronomer, devised a temperature scale in 1742 which had 0 as the boiling point of water and 100 as the freezing point of water. Carolus Linnaeus is considered to be the inventor of the centigrade scale in 1744 using 0 as the melting point of ice and 100 as the boiling point of water. The term Celsius was formally adopted for this scale in 1948.
Where are the freezing points and melting points of substances?
They are the same thing. Most commonly the term melting point is used to describe the temperature at which a substance first co-exists in both a liquid and solid state. Freezing point is used usually to describe a substance that is usually liquid at room temperature, such as water. Conversely the term 'boiling point' refers to the first temperature at which the substance exists in both liquid and gaseous states.
What is the term for temperature at which liquid turn into gas?
This is the boiling point.
What is liquid to gas evaporation called?
1. When the phenomenon occur at a temperature under the boiling point, at the surface of a liquid, the term is evaporation.2. When the phenomenon occur at the boiling point, in all the volume of the liquid, the term is boiling.
What does Celsius mean in science?
There is a temperature scale called Celsius. On the Celsius scale, the freezing point of water is 0o and the boiling point of water is 100o (in comparison to the Fahrenheit scale, in which water freezes at 32o and boils at 212o). Also note: the Celsius scale is sometimes called the Centigrade scale, although Celsius is the correct term.
