This question is poorly specified since it does not identify the substance whose freezing and boiling point s are being considered. Also, the questioner may not be aware of external factors (pressure) that impact on these temperatures.
The midway point for pure water at 1 bar is 323.15 K (50 degrees Celsius, 122 deg Fahrenheit). The freezing and boiling points will change with pressure and so the midpoint will change. Other substances have different freezing/melting points and so different midpoints.

When does the Fahrenheit temperature scale freeze and boil at?
Freezing at 32 F and boiling at 212 F
Will rainwater and sea water boil at the same temperature?
No, rainwater and seawater will not boil at the same temperature. Seawater has a higher boiling point than rainwater due to the presence of dissolved salts and minerals, which raise the boiling point of the water.
Is mercury always a liquid?
Yes, mercury is a unique metal that remains a liquid at room temperature, unlike other metals that are solid. It has a low melting point of -38.8°C and a low boiling point of 356.7°C, allowing it to easily transition between a liquid and a gaseous state.
When salt is added to boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius will the water boil faster or slower?
Adding salt to boiling water will actually make the water boil slower. Salt increases the boiling point of water by raising its boiling point temperature. As a result, it will take longer for the water to reach the new, higher boiling point temperature and thus boil.
Is it possible for a liquid to boil at a temperature other than its normal boiling point?
Yes, it is possible for a liquid to boil at a temperature other than its normal boiling point under specific conditions, such as changes in pressure or the addition of solutes. These factors can alter the boiling point of a liquid, causing it to boil at a higher or lower temperature than normal.
