Supercooling occurs when the water freezes not at 0°C, but at some lower temperature. One experiment [12] found that the initially hot water would supercool less than the initially cold water.

Temperature question: What is the freezing point of water? 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit The freezing point of water is equal to 0 degrees Celsius. To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply ... What freezing point does water freeze? ... Can you answer these temperature measurements and unit conversions questions?

Water freezes at 32o Fahrenheit (F) and boils at 212o F (at sea level, but 186.4° at 14,000 feet). In fact, water's freezing and boiling points are the baseline with which temperature is measured: 0o on the Celsius scale is water's freezing point, and 100o is water's boiling point.

For water, the liquid phase is denser than the solid. (Ice cubes float in water.) So squeezing ice will tend to melt it, even if its temperature is several degrees below freezing. This is why you can ice skate--the pressure under the blade melts the ice, allowing you to glide on a film of liquid water.

Far more cooling is needed to freeze 32 degree water than cooling the water from even a high temperature down to 32 degrees (heat of fusion and all that.) Perhaps enough of the hot water evaporates off while cooling to 32 degrees that the reduced amount remaining freezes before the water that started out cold.

Is it true that hot water freezes faster than water at room temperature? If so, why? The "freezing" happens when a body at a temperature elevated from its surroundings looses heat. This... ... You're reading Is it true that hot water freezes faster than water at room temperature? If so, why?

After Fahrenheit died in 1736, scientists calibrated his model of thermometer using 212 degrees, the temperature at which water boils, as the upper fixed point. When the Fahrenheit thermometer was recalibrated, normal human body temperature registered 98.6 rather than 96.

It was probably cold when you woke up this morning. It was probably hovering just about 32 degrees outside, the temperature at which water freezes. ... Inside far too many homes on the Seacoast, the temperature wasn't much warmer...

"Since the rate at which heat is lost from the water depends on this temperature difference, water that has not been heated has greater difficulty losing heat," Katz says. ... Katz claims that the two effects combined can perfectly explain why water that has been heated freezes more quickly than water that hasn't.
