This decreases the overall density of the ice, allowing it to float on water. The freezing point of water is 0° C, which is when it turns to ice. However, if you add salt to the water ...

The temperature of the liquid water continues to increase as heat is added, until it reaches its boiling point of 100 °C. Again, the line becomes horizontal (between D and E), showing that the ...

In 1742, Anders Celsius defined a temperature scale in which the freezing point of water (at sea-level pressure) was taken as a lower reference point with a value of 0, with the difference between ...

freezing occurs at the top of a water body High boiling point Adhesion of molecules hinders transformation to gas phase Water is a liquid at common temperatures High heat capacity Strong ...
