They occur at the same temperature for a given substance just depends which direction the heat is flowing (up in the product or out into the surrounding area/substance).

Both freezing and melting involve a change in the state of matter from solid to liquid or liquid to solid, respectively. The temperature at which freezing and melting occur is the same for a given substance, known as the freezing/melting point. During both processes, energy in the form of heat is either released (freezing) or absorbed (melting).

What word means the opposite of melting?
The opposite of melting is freezing.
What is its melting point when the freezing point of a substance is 68C?
The freezing point is 680C
What term describes the physical change of a solid to a liquid at the melting point?
Simple: a transformation from a solid to a liquid.
What kind of property is melting point and freezing point of water?
The melting point and freezing point of water are physical properties. The melting point is the temperature at which ice (solid) changes to water (liquid), while the freezing point is the temperature at which water (liquid) changes to ice (solid).
Melting and freezing?
Melting is the process of a solid turning into a liquid due to an increase in temperature, while freezing is the opposite process where a liquid turns into a solid due to a decrease in temperature. Both melting and freezing involve changes in the physical state of a substance without changing its chemical composition.
Is boiling the reverse of freezing?
no it is not melting is the reverse of freezing
Is endothermic melting or freezing?
Melting is endothermic. Freezing is exothermic.
What is the difference of melting and freezing?
When solid is converted into liquid then it is melting and when liquid is converted into sold it is freezing although Melting and Freezing point for a substance is the same.
What word means the opposite of melting?
The opposite of melting is freezing.
What is the name of the change from liquid to solid or the reverse of melting?
a liquid to a solid is called the melting point:-)
Are these chimichel changes melting malting point freezing?
No. Melting and freezing are physical changes. Melting point is a physical property.
How is melting different then freezing?
Melting is from 'solid to liquid', freezing is from liquid changing to solid state
Is Boiling is the reverse of freezing?
no it is not melting is the reverse of freezing
A change of occurs during both freezing and melting?
A change in temperature occurs during both freezing and melting. Freezing and melting are physical changes since the chemical contents of the matter do not change.
Are freezing and melting points characteristic properties?
Yes, freezing and melting points are characteristic properties of a substance. They are specific temperatures at which a substance changes its state from solid to liquid (melting) or from liquid to solid (freezing) under normal atmospheric pressure.
Are the melting point of solid and freezing point of liquid of a substance different?
yes the melting point of solid and freezing point of liquid of a substance is differ but in the case of water the melting and freezing point is same.
What is its melting point when the freezing point of a substance is 68C?
The freezing point is 680C
