    Study Notes

    Freezing Point Definition

    • The freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid transforms into a solid.
    • For pure substances, the freezing point is equal to the melting point.

    Correct Statements about the Freezing Point

    • The freezing point can vary based on pressure and the presence of impurities.
    • The freezing point is a characteristic property of substances, allowing for identification.

    Behavior at Freezing Point

    • When a liquid reaches its freezing point, molecular motion slows down significantly.
    • Energy in the form of heat is released during the freezing process, causing particles to bond and form a solid.

    Examples of Freezing Points

    • Water has a freezing point of 0°C (32°F) under standard atmospheric pressure.
    • Different substances have distinct freezing points, such as ethanol at -114.1°C (-173.4°F).

    Factors Affecting Freezing Point

    • Factors that affect the freezing point include pressure, molecular structure, and the presence of solutes.
    • The freezing point of a liquid is not influenced by the quantity of the liquid present.
