Question

What is the relationship between melting point and freezing point of a body?

• A. Melting point is greater than freezing point.
• B. It cannot be determined.
• C. Freezing point is greater than melting point.
• D. Both have the same numerical value.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both have the same numerical value.

Melting point is the temperature at which a given solid will melt. Freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a solid when cooled.
The numerical value of freezing point and melting point is the same, for a particular substance, at constant pressure. For water, it is 0 °C.
