Different substances freeze at different temperatures. The freezing point of a substance depends on its chemical composition and structure. Water, for example, freezes at 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit), but substances like Mercury freeze at -39 degrees Celsius (-38 degrees Fahrenheit).

Do all substances freeze into solids at zero degrees Celsius?

No, not all substances freeze into solids at zero degrees Celsius. The freezing point of a substance depends on its chemical composition and molecular structure. Different substances freeze at different temperatures.


Which will freeze the faster between salt water sugar water and tap water?

Tap Water because adding substances to the water (salt or sugar) reduce the rate at which water will form ice crystals, making it freeze at a lower temperature.


What happens to the temperature when a liquid turns to a solid?

When a liquid is cooled, its temperature decreases until it begins to freeze. At this point the temperature stops decreasing, because the energy being removed comes from the phase change from liquid to solid and not from changes in the temperature. Once it is completely frozen, the temperature will begin to drop again.Note that this is only true for pure substances like water. Other substances often freeze over a range of temperatures instead of at a single "freezing point". The freezing of these substances is more complicated.


Can you freeze nuts and bolts?

If you put water or other liquid on them they will freeze together, but to "freeze" them together without another substances help they would have to be welded, which is melting.


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.


Why doesn't spring water freeze?

Spring water can freeze if the temperature drops low enough. However, spring water may resist freezing at higher temperatures compared to tap water due to minerals and impurities that act as antifreeze, lowering its freezing point. Nevertheless, if the temperature is cold enough, spring water will eventually freeze like any other water.


If you put something in Liquid nitrogen that does not contain water would it still freeze?

If it contained any liquid, it would freeze. If it did not contain any liquid, it would get VERY cold.


Why does water freeze faster than dishwashing liquid?

The dishwashing liquid cannot freeze, only the water and other liquids that are solvents, which will solidify at a given temperature. However, water that contains solutes (other substances in solution) freezes at a lower temperature than pure water. The reason is most simply explained by saying that the molecules of other substances "get in the way" of water molecules that are trying to form ice crystals as they are cooled (usually by colder air).


Can you freeze pineapple?

You can freeze anything with water in it. Pineapple does have water, so if you drop the temperature low enough, it will freeze.


How many watts to freeze water?

The amount of energy required to freeze water depends on the initial temperature of the water and the desired final temperature (0°C for freezing water). To calculate the power in watts needed to freeze water, you would need to know the mass of water, its initial temperature, and the time over which you want to freeze it.


Why does water freeze before juice?

Because juice is mostly a solution of water, sugar, & other compounds. These other compounds added to water lowers the freezing point so it will freeze at a lower temperature than pure water. Look up freezing point depression for more information.


Will moving water freeze?

Yes, moving water can freeze if the temperature drops low enough.
