Should be 0 (zero ) for pure water with no impurities. For other type of liquids, it would be different.

Freezing point of "water" is 0 Celsius and 32Fahrenheit.
Boiling point is 100 Celsius and 212 Fahrenheit.
so at freezing C = F - 32
Additionally each degree Fahrenheit is about half a
degree Celsius, and each degree Celsius is about 2
degrees Fahrenheit ... 9/5 to be exact and each degree
Fahrenheit is 9/5 degree Celsius.
degrees F = 9/5 C
From this you can derive the formula and never forget
it if you can remember this and solve for 0 for both.
( F - 32 ) = 9/5C
Solving for each measure:
C = 5/9( F - 32 )
F = 9/5C + 32
Check with
C=0 F=32 boiling point
and
C=100 F=212 freezing point
By the way, the reason it is understood that you were
talking about the substance water, and not another is
that the temperature scales were set up to be based
on water at standard pressure, sea level.

The freezing point in celcius is zero and just for good measure the boiling point is 100 degrees celcius

Freezing point is 0 degrees Celsius, or 32 degrees Fahrenheit, or +372 degrees Absolute.. Does that help you any ??

ZERO degrees.
In Fahrenheit if is 32 degrees
In Kelvin it is 273K.
The freezing point is assumed to be that of pure water,
Other liquids and water used as a solvent have different freezing points.

For PURE water at standard atmospheric pressure i.e. sea level it is 0 degrees C.
For sea water it is slightly greater that 0 deg. This means that sea water would freeze at a temperature slightly higher than 0 deg. Same logic applies with milk.

the freezing point of pure water is 0 C, the freezing point for everything (the point at which nothing can theoretically exist) is -273 C which is also called absolute zero

Freezing point of water = 0
Boiling = 100
That's what makes Celsius easy P:

it depends on the substance...if you're talking about water...freezing point in Celcius is 0
