Your question is not clear, what temperature? the freezing point in celsius is 0 degrees, while the freezing point in Farhenheit is 32 degrees..☺

A glass of ice water is at 0 degrees celsius. (If it were warmer, the ice would all melt. If it were colder, the water would all freeze.) Both the ice and the water are at 0 degrees (assuming you have given it enough time to come to an equilibrium temperature.

A hot tub has water that is a bit over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, which converts to about 38 to 40 degrees Celsius. Hot water from the faucet (after you leave the water running long enough to reach its hottest temperature) is usually at least 120 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 50 degrees Celsius, and it can be 55 or 60 degrees Celsius (rarely hotter than that).

Boiling water, of course, is exactly 100 degrees Celsius. (If it were less than 100 degrees, it would not boil. If it were more than 100 degrees, it would already be converted to steam.

Ok, without any further information, I'll make some base assumptions:

1. The definition of "cold", in "cold water" would have to be something less than ambient room temperature but not as low as freezing point or the question would have read "frozen water" or "ice".
2. Likewise, the defintion of "hot", in "hot water", would be greater than ambient room temperature but not so high as boiling point or the question would have read "Boiling Water".

Now, since the scale known as Celsius is defined by two points - one being water freezing (zero degrees Celsius) and the other being water boiling (100 degrees Celsius), we can begin.

First, let's find the standard called "ambient room temperature". Now, I know that the ideal room temperature value in Farenheit according to ASHRAE (Heating and Air Conditioing national standards) is 65 degrees Farenheit. Let's convert to Celsius:

C = x*(100/(212-32))
C = 65*0.5555
C = 36 = Ambient Room Temperature

Therefore,
* "cold water" would be any temperature that is less than 36 degrees C and greater than 0 degrees C.
likewise,
* "hot water" would be any temperature that is greater than 36 degrees C and less than 100 degrees C.

Any questions?

On the Celsius scale, water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees.

cold water could range from 0.1 degrees celsius to probably 5 or 6 degrees celsius. hot water, as was said, is probably around 35-40 degrees celsius, and boiling water has a temp of 100 degrees celcius
