In contrast to the boiling point of a substance, the freezing point is the temperature when a liquid or gas solidifies. The lower temperature reduces the energy of the molecules and the attractive forces pull the molecules tighter together.
The temperature at which the solid and liquid phases of a substance are in equilibrium at atmospheric pressure. See melting point.
Temperature of solidification of a liquid under given conditions.
the temperature at which a substance changes from a gas or liquid phase to a solid phase under a specified pressure.
For a pure substance, the freezing point or melting point is the temperature at which the liquid and solid are in equilibrium with one another; i.e. at a higher temperature the solid will melt and at a lower temperature the liquid will solidify. Varies with the composition of the liquid.
Temperature at which a liquid of specified composition solidifies under a specified pressure.
The temperature it takes a substance to transform from liquid to solid. Every substance has a different freezing point.
the temperature at which a material changes from a liquid to a solid state upon cooling.
the temperature below which a liquid turns into a solid
Temperature at which a liquid will solidify upon the removal of heat. The freezing temperature for water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (zero degrees Celsius).
The temperature at which a liquid turns into a solid.
The fixed temperature point of a material that occurs during the transition from a liquid to a solid state. This is also known as the melting point for pure materials.
temperature at which the solid and the liquid of an element, compound, or mixture are in equilibrium at one standard atmosphere, also known as the melting point
The temperature at which a pure substance changes from a liquid to a solid. This temperature is the same as the melting point.
The temperature at which a liquid becomes a solid; also called melting point.
Whe the processes of freezing and thawing are in equilibrium
Temperature at which a liquid solidifies under any given set of conditions. It may or may not be the same as the melting point or the more rigidly defined true freezing point or (for water) ice point.
The temperature at which the substance goes from the liquid phase to the solid phase.
The temperature at with if any more heat is removed it will solidify.
The temperature at which a liquid solidifies under the influence of a particular set of conditions.
the temperature at which a liquid becomes a solid, at normal atmospheric pressure.
(mp) standard melting point; normal melting point; melting point. The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the vapor pressure of the corresponding solid form. The liquid and solid forms can coexist at equilibrium at the freezing point. The standard melting point is the melting point at standard pressure.
The temperatures at which a liquid will solidify upon removal of heat. The freezing temperature for water is 32°F (0°C). at atmospheric pressure.
The temperature at which a liquid solidifies under any given set of conditions. The freezing point depends upon the "purity" of the liquid; the volume and shape of the liquid mass; the availability of freezing nuclei; and the pressure acting upon the liquid. Therefore, since natural water almost invariably contains some impurities, its freezing point is found to be slightly below 0°C. For example, bulk samples of normal sea water freeze at about –1.9°C or 28.6°F.
the temperature at which a liquid becomes a solid. Increased pressure usually raises the freezing point.
The fixed temperature point at which a material changes from a liquid to a solid state. This is the same as the melting point for pure materials. For example, the freezing point of water is 32¼F or 0¼C.
(1) the temperature at which a pure liquid solidifies under atmospheric pressure (2) the temperature at which a ground material starts to freeze.
The temperature of degrees C or degrees F at which a liquid solidifies; the temperature at which matter converts into a solid.
The process of changing a liquid to a solid. The temperature at which a liquid solidifies under any given set of conditions. Pure water under atmospheric pressure freezes at 0°C or 32°F. It is the opposite of fusion. In oceanography, the freezing point of water is depressed with increasing salinity.
