What temperature does cooking oil freeze?

Answer 1

Vegetable oil is made up of long chains of lipids (fat molecules) that are of different shapes and sizes. That means it it difficult for it to get locked into a crystalline shape, like water does when it turns to ice.

The oil will get thicker (more viscous) as the temperature gets colder, but it does not have a defined freezing point like water does.

Answer 2

As it gets cooled, the inter molecular attraction brings the molecules closer together to release energy. Since the inter molecular forces are weak, the entropic benefits of the molecules being dispersed is greater than the energy of attraction between molecules at higher energy (higher temperature) however this isn't the case at lower temperatures so the molecules come in closer proximity to eachother at low temperatures and is therefore defined as a solid.

Answer 3

Vegetable oil freezes at approximately -10 degrees Celsius, or approximately 14 degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 4

Yes oil does freeze but home heating oil does not but the home heating oil starts to gel at 32 degrees F

Answer 5

yes it can but you may have a litte fluid in the cup/glass but yes it does freeze

Answer 6

cooking oil can be frozen if put in the freezer for about a month or two.

Answer 7

because it thinks youre a nerd and it hates you!

Answer 8

no
