To determine the freezing point of a solution, heat must be removed from a sample. A cold sink is needed (a home freezer, a water-ice bath, or salt-water-ice bath is often sufficient). In any event, the cold sink has to be able to absorb enough heat from the sample to cause it to freeze. (This is how a ice cream machine works.) A thermometer is then used to record the decreasing temperature of the sample until it freezes, indicated by a visible change in appearance or State. Plotting the temperature readings will also give a clear indication of the freezing point. There are more sophisticated methods and equipment, but this is the basic method.
Tip: In the case of a liquid solvent, the freezing point is always slightly less than for the pure solvent.
The freezing point of water is typically measured using a thermometer. When water turns from a liquid to a solid state (freezing), the temperature will remain constant at 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). By observing the temperature change as water is cooled, you can identify the freezing point.
You have a freezer that goes below zero and you keep lowering the temp, slowly, until the water freezes. Then you note that temp.
It is the point at which something freezes, thus when it starts freezing you have found a freezing point.

Why is the thermometer not suitable to measure the freezing point and boiling point of water?
Although a thermometer CAN be used its presence affects the temperature.
What is 0 degrees Celsius?
0 degrees Celsius is the freezing point of water. It is the temperature at which water changes from a liquid to a solid state.
How does salt affect the melting and freezing point of water?
Salt decreases the freezing point of water and increases the boiling point of water.
What is the freezing point and boiling point in celcsious?
The freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius and the boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius.
What is the freezing and boiling point for water in Celsius?
Freezing point of water is 0 C and boiling point is 100 C.
Why alchol can measure freezing point of water?
Because alcohol freezes at a lower temperature than water.
Why is the thermometer not suitable to measure the freezing point and boiling point of water?
Although a thermometer CAN be used its presence affects the temperature.
What is a sentence with freezing point in it?
The freezing point of water is 0o Celsius or 32o Fahrenheit.
Why is water activity a better measure of concentration when calculating freezing point depression or boiling point rise?
Water activity takes into account only the available water molecules that contribute to colligative properties, which affects freezing point depression and boiling point elevation more accurately than traditional concentration measurements. It focuses on the water molecules that are free to participate in these colligative properties, providing a more precise measure of the effect on the freezing or boiling point.
Does salt affect the temperature of water -boiling point - freezing point?
Yes, salt affects the freezing point of water by lowering it, making it take longer to freeze. However, it does not affect the boiling point of water under normal conditions.
What is 0 degrees Celsius?
0 degrees Celsius is the freezing point of water. It is the temperature at which water changes from a liquid to a solid state.
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).
How does salt affect the melting and freezing point of water?
Salt decreases the freezing point of water and increases the boiling point of water.
How is the freezing point of stearic acid compared to the freezing point of water?
Because water evapurates
What is the melting and freezing point of water in Kelvin?
The melting point of water is 273.15 K, and the freezing point of water is also 273.15 K.
What does freezing point means?
freezing point means the point water(H20) freezes at.
Does water vapour have a freezing point?
Water VAPOUR literally does not have a chemical freezing point because it is in the process of evaporation which is above freezing.
