what tempature does water freeze?

Answer 1

Pure water freezes at precisely 0 degrees Celsius (Centigrade).

The Celsius scale takes the freezing point of pure water as 0 and the boiling point of pure water as 100.

If there are impurities the freezing point can be lower (sometimes higher). Salt water is a common example and freezes at a few degrees below zero - the more salt the lower the freezing point.

Air pressure, which constantly changes, alse affects the freezing point.

Answer 2

Pure water at 1 atmosphere of pressure feezes at 32 degrees F or 0 deg C.

However, dissolved solids would decrease the temperature that water would normally freeze at. For example, a 10% salt solution will not freeze until 20 deg F.

Finally, pressure comes into play. You can lower the pressure to 1% of normal and water will then freeze just ever so slightly above 32 deg F. Or if you increase the pressure, the temperature required to freeze will go down. Most people get this backwards and think logically that water will freeze easier if pressure is added. But, if you remember that ice expands as it freezes, then anything that limits the expansion will limit the ability of ice to freeze. Therefore, higher pressures require colder temperatures to freeze.

Answer 3

Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit and 0 degrees Celsius. Two different temperature scales but same temperature.

Answer 4

0 C, 32 F

Answer 5

32 degrees F or 0 degrees C

Answer 6

Water can freeze at 0°C but it can remain liquid down to -40°. Liquid water with a temperature below 0°C is called supercooled. It is common in clouds.

Answer 7

0 degrees C, and 32 degrees F

Answer 8

0 celsius
32 Fehrenheite

Answer 9

32° F or 0° C...

Answer 10

32 degrees Fahrenheit which is equal to 0 degrees Celsius. These two temperatures are equal.
