Freezing point of water.

Learn the temperature of the freezing point of water in Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin. See what factors can change the freezing point.

This example problem demonstrates how to calculate the heat required to change the phase of a substance from solid to liquid using the heat of fusion.

Adding a substance such as sugar or salt to water or ice lowers the freezing point and increases melting of existing ice. This is why salt is spread on icy roads in wintertime.

The viral video was shaed around the world and showcases the phenomenon of supercooling which lets water remain liquid below its freezing point.

You sprinkle salt on an icy road or sidewalk. Here's how salt melts ice and how it relates to freezing point depression.

Exploring Colligative Properties: Unveiling the Magic of Solutions! Ever wondered why adding salt to water lowers its freezing point? Or why sugar makes your ice cream smoother and creamier? 🤔 It all boils down to a fascinating concept in chemistry called colligative properties. In simple terms, colligative properties are the characteristics of solutions that depend solely on the number of solute particles present, regardless of their identity. These properties include freezing point…
