How does ice melt at 0 degrees and water freeze at the same temperature?

The real answer is because molecules of ice are constantly escaping into the water (melting), and molecules of water are being captured on the surface of the ice (freezing).

Are freezing and melting point the same?
Yes the melting and freezing points are the same.
Why does ice melt faster in soda than in water?
Each liquid has a different melting and boiling point. If you place ice (frozen water) into a glass of water, then the water's temperature can only drop to 32 degrees and it will begin to melt. If you drop ice (pure frozen water) into Sea Water(water with salt), then the Sea Water can drop below 32 degrees. So it will take longer for the ice to warm up enough to melt. It has to do with the freezing point of the liquid it is in.
Salt water and tap water which one freezes faster?
fresh water freezes at a higher temperature so should freeze before salt water. This is because when you dissolve substances in water you get freezing point depression this is where they need colder temperature to freeze. So this is why things like jam, vodka won't freeze in most home freezers even though they contain alot of water they also have alot of dissolved substances. Also why salt is spread on roads to melt the ice.
At what temperature does ice melt?
Ice melts at a temperature of 32 Fahrenheit and 0 Celsius.
Which frozen liquids melt the fastest?
i think all the liquids will melt at the same speed but it depends on the viscosity of the liquid. If salt water is one of your liquids I think salt water will melt the fastest because salt melts ice. From C00kie_cream
Does water freeze and melt at the same temperature?
yes
What temperature does ice become water?
Depends on how pure the water is. If the water is 100% pure then then it will freeze at 0 degrees. IF it has a small amount of salt added to it, it might freeze about -3 degrees Depends on how pure the water is. If the water is 100% pure then then it will freeze at 0 degrees. IF it has a small amount of salt added to it, it might freeze about -3 degrees
Does ice melting depend on temperature?
Temperature is an important factor, but temperature alone cannot predict that ice will melt. Adding the heat of fusion to ice at zero degrees centigrade will cause it to melt without elevating its temperature, and removing the heat of fusion from water at zero degrees centigrade will cause it to freeze without lowering its temperature.
What temperature scale places the melting point of ice at 0 degrees?
In Celsius, ice will freeze below and melt above 0 degrees.
Why is freeze thaw?
Fresh water (for instance) will freeze and turn to ice when the temperature drops below freezing point. The ice will thaw (melt back into water) when the temperature rises above freezing point.
What degree does water boil and melt at?
Water boils when the temperature gets to 212 degrees Fahrenheit or 100 degrees celsius. Water does not melt. It changes into a vapor-like fog and disappears into a gas.
What is the effect of adding ice to water?
Water tend's to crack and melt the ice, depending on the temperature it's at, it could freeze almost instantly.
What takes longer ice melting or water freezing?
What takes longer to melt ice or freeze water?
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.
At what temperature does water melt at?
Ice will melt - and turn to water - at about zero degrees Celsius (Centigrade). The exact temperature also depends on the pressure.
On what scale does ice melt at 0?
If you mean 0°Celsius, that equates to +32°F, and yes, ice could melt, albeit slowly.
How long does it takes ice to melt?
Ice (from pure water that is) will melt when the temperature rises from 0 degrees Celsius or higher. The only temperature ice will stay ice is 0 degrees Celsius or lower.
