Freezing Point of Water

The freezing point of water is the temperature at which water changes from a liquid to a solid state (ice). Under standard conditions, this occurs at 0 degrees Celsius (°C) or 32 degrees Fahrenheit (°F).

• Standard Conditions: Standard conditions refer to a specific set of temperature and pressure used for experimental measurements. Generally, temperature 273.15 K (0 °C; 32 °F) and absolute pressure 100 kPa (14.504 psi; 0.987 atm).

• Factors Affecting Freezing Point: The freezing point can be slightly affected by factors such as the presence of solutes. For example, adding salt to water lowers the freezing point a phenomenon called freezing point depression.

• Freezing%20Point%20Depression: This occurs because the solute particles interfere with the water molecules' ability to form a crystalline structure.

• Pressure: While the effect is small for everyday temperature and pressure changes, increased pressure generally lowers the freezing point of water (though the behavior of water is somewhat unusual in this regard, as the freezing point increases with pressure at very high pressures).
