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.

Which water freezes first boiling water cold water or room temperature.?

Cold water would freeze the fastest because freezing is a physical change brought on by temperature change, and the temperature of cold water is closer to freezing temperature than boiling or room temperature water. Therefore, it would take less time to reach freezing temperature.


What happened to the water temperature during freezing?

During freezing, water temperature decreases as heat is removed from the water, causing the molecules to slow down and eventually form into a solid state. At the freezing point, the water remains at a constant temperature until it has fully solidified into ice.


At what temperature does water change from freezing to boiling?

Water changes from freezing to boiling at 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit).


How many degrees does water changes from a liquid state to a solid state at what degrees?

Freezing occurs without any change in temperature. A liquid at freezing temperature becomes a solid at freezing temperature.


What happens to the temperature while the water is in the process of freezing?

The temperature remains constant during the process of freezing as the liquid water transitions to solid ice. This is known as the freezing point and happens at 0 degrees Celsius.


Why is the freezing of water classifyed as a physical change?

Freezing of water is a physical change because it is becomin solid through means of temperature. Chemical changes happen due to burning or wear and tear.


What is the shape of the graph at the melting and freezing points of water what does this shape tell you about the temperature?

Well, honey, the graph at the melting and freezing points of water is flat as a pancake. This shape tells you that the temperature remains constant during these phase changes. So, don't expect any temperature changes while water is busy melting or freezing, darling.


What is the experimental variable of freezing water?

The experimental variable of freezing water would be the temperature at which the water freezes. By changing the temperature, you can observe how it affects the freezing point of water.


What is the temperature for freezing water?

The temperature for freezing water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius.


What is the freezing temperature of water?

The freezing temperature of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius.


What temperature does water change to a solid from a liquid?

The freezing point - that is 0 0C or 32 0F


What temperature does water freeze in Celsius?

Zero degrees Celsius. The Celsius temperature scale was defined with zero as the freezing point of water, and 100 as the boiling point of water. (That's for pure fresh water at sea-level atmospheric pressure. Adding impurities to the water will change the freezing and boiling temperatures, and different air pressures will change the boiling temperature of water.)
