The melting point of ice is 0 Â°C (32 Â°F; 273 K) at standard pressure; however, pure liquid water can be supercooled well below that temperature without freezing if the liquid is not mechanically disturbed. It can remain in a fluid state down to its homogeneous nucleation point of about 231 K (â42 Â°C; â44 Â°F).
For example, pure water has a boiling point of 100 Â°C and a freezing point of 0 Â°C. In boiling for example, as pure water vapor leaves the liquid, only pure water is left behind. Not so with a solution. As a solution boils, if the solute is non-volatile, then only pure solvent enters the vapor phase.
