The temperature of the water will not change during a phase transition. If you have seen a graph of temperature versus heat input of water before, you can see that at the freezing point and the boiling point, the temperature remains constant while heat input increases. This is because during the phase transition (such as from solid to liquid), the heat put in will be used to separate the molecules and overcome the electrostatic forces between them, rather than to raise the temperature of the substance. Therefore, at the freezing point, it is possible to have both solid ice and liquid water at the same temperature.

How could you change the boiling and freezing temperature of water?
If you want to limit yourself to water only, you could change the pressure. That would greatly change the boiling point and slightly change the freezing point. If you don't care about limiting yourself to pure water, you can dissolve a salt or other substance in the water to lower the freezing point and raising the boiling point.
Does the amount of water change the boiling or freezing point of water?
No, the amount of water does not change the boiling or freezing point of water. The boiling point of water is always 100°C (212°F) at sea level, and the freezing point is always 0°C (32°F). The boiling and freezing points are determined by the chemical properties of water, not the amount of water present.
Water drops that fall when the temperature is below freezing fall as?
Water drops that fall when the temperature is below freezing, fall as SNOW . Water drops that fall when the temperature is above freezing fall as RAIN .
At what degrees celsius does a liquid turn to a solid?
The specific temperature at which a liquid turns into a solid is known as the freezing point. This temperature can vary depending on the substance. For water, the freezing point is 0 degrees Celsius.
How many degrees is negative 3 degrees Fahrenheit below the freezing temperature of water?
The freezing temperature of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore, negative 3 degrees Fahrenheit is 35 degrees below the freezing temperature of water.
