Correct option is D
The correct answer is:(D) 0
Explanation:
The freezing point of fresh water is 0°C. This is the temperature at which water changes from its liquid state to a solid (ice) under standard atmospheric pressure (1 atmosphere). At temperatures below 0°C, water freezes into ice, and at temperatures above 0°C, it remains in a liquid state.
Information Booster:
• The freezing point of water is 0°C, and it is the same as the melting point of ice under standard pressure.
• Water freezes at 0°C when it is at a pressure of 1 atmosphere (standard atmospheric pressure).
• At higher altitudes, where atmospheric pressure is lower, the freezing point of water can decrease slightly.
• The freezing point of water can also change when dissolved substances, such as salts, are added. This is known as freezing point depression.
• 0°C is also the standard reference point for the Celsius scale.
