Question

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

• A. Both occur at the same temperature
• B. Melting point is greater than freezing point
• C. Freezing point is greater than melting point
• D. It cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Both occur at the same temperature

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.

Melting and freezing are reverse phenomenon and occur at same temperature. For water, it is $0°C$
