A liquid at the freezing point might remain a liquid indefinitely if no more heat is removed. A liquid in frozen state might remain frozen indefinitely, too. If the liquid is very pure, it might remain a liquid even when carefully brought below the freezing point. It would shift phases if some impurity or movement disturbs the liquid. If enough additional heat (heat of fusion) is removed from a liquid at the freezing point then the liquid will freeze without changing temperature. If a frozen liquid has the heat of fusion added to it, it will melt without changing temperature.

What is the freezing point of water, and what is the liquid form of water called before it reaches its freezing point, and what is the solid form of water called after it freezes?

The freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The liquid form of water before it reaches its freezing point is called water. The solid form of water after it freezes is called ice.


Can you turn a liquid into a solid by freezing it?

No, freezing changes a liquid to a solid. To change a solid to a liquid you need to apply heat. The change begins when the solid reaches its melting point.


At what point has water reached when it undergoes a phase transition from a liquid to a solid?

What happens water freezes?

it it turns into a solid and then melts right away because if it reaches 0 Celsius it reaches its freezing point which allows the particles to disintegrate and it no longer can keep freezing.


What is it when you turn liquid into solid?

Turning a liquid into a solid is called freezing. This process involves lowering the temperature of the liquid until it reaches its freezing point, causing the molecules to slow down and arrange into a solid structure.
