Yes, with the addition of a solute or by increasing pressure water can be kept liquid below its normal freezing point.

Water can also be supercooled, but will freeze instantly if it is disturbed.

Can water stay liquid below zero degrees Celsius?

Yes, water can stay liquid below zero degrees Celsius. There are a few ways in which this can happen. The freezing point of water drops below zero degrees Celsius as you apply pressure.


Why does concentrated salt water stay liquid in a normal household freezer?

Concentrated salt water remains liquid below pure water's normal freezing point (0oC) because the dissolved ions (Na+ and Cl-) interfere with the freezing process of water. This causes a phenomenon which is known as freezing point depression, which occurs whenever a solute is dissolved in a solvent.


How can water be below 32 degrees and still not be frozen?

Water can exist in a supercooled state below its freezing point of 32 degrees Fahrenheit, but it remains liquid because it lacks impurities or nucleation sites to initiate crystallization. When disturbed or seeded with an impurity, the supercooled water can rapidly freeze into solid ice.


What is sub freezing temperature?

Sub-freezing temperatures refer to temperatures that are below the freezing point of water, which is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius). These temperatures can cause liquids to freeze and surfaces to become icy, posing risks for travel and outdoor activities. It is important to take precautions to stay warm and protect oneself from the cold when temperatures drop below freezing.


Does water expand when temperature drops below the freezing point?

Interesting observation! Water indeed expands when it freezes and is the only thing that does this! Without this unique property, we might not have any life on this planet. This allows ice to stay on top of water and life underneath to keep living.


What type of desert is dry and can get below freezing temperatures?

All deserts are dry, that is why they are called deserts. All deserts can get below freezing but rarely stay below freezing for more than a few hours. However, cold deserts can get bitterly cold in the winter and stay that way for days.


Can the water in your eyes freeze in antarctica?

Yes. Given the extremely low temperatures in Antarctica coupled with the constant wind, the wind chill factor can be -75F to -125F below zero. It's prudent to wear protective covers over your face and wear glacier glasses when outdoors, in order to prevent freezing the liquid in your eyeballs. And in very extreme cold weather, never stay outdoors for long stretches.


Do vacuum sealed water bottles freeze?

No, vacuum-sealed water bottles do not freeze. The vacuum insulation helps to maintain the temperature of the liquid inside, so it will stay at its original state without freezing.


Freezing point when salt is with a liquid?

Adding a salt to a pure substance depresses the melting point and elevates the boiling point.Adding salt to water will enable it to stay liquid at a lower temperature than 0 oC; adding salt to ice will drop its temperature (this phenomenon was used in old fashioned ice cream makers); adding salt to water will make it boil at a temperature higher than 100 oC


Is snow always at least 32 degrees F and never colder?

Snow, like all other matter can get as cold as it's environment. Snow cannot rise above water's freezing point, because it would be liquid water. To expect snow to stay at it's freezing point is like expecting wax to never get colder a than it's freezing point. There is no basis for snow staying at 32 degrees F.


How warm is 29 degrees Fahrenheit?

29 degrees Fahrenheit is below freezing. It is quite cold and would likely require a heavy jacket or coat to stay warm.


Why does water remain liquid on earth compared to the other planets?

Because on most planets (mars being an exeption as there are places where water can stay liquid) temperature and/or atmospheric pressure is to high or low for water to stay liquid.
