Type in either field to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius or from Celsius to Fahrenheit: Fahrenheit is a temperature scale used for describing temperatures in Fahrenheit degrees (F). It is most commonly used in the United States in weather forecasts and to describe temperatures inside houses, offices, etc.
The freezing point of very PURE cyclohexane measured with aCALIBRATED thermometer is 6.5Â°C. You may obtain different freezing point depending on the purity of your cyclohexane and the accuracy of your thermometer reading.
The transition between the solid and the liquid is so sharp for small samples of a pure substance that melting points can be measured to 0.1oC. The melting point of solid oxygen, for example, is -218.4oC. Liquids have a characteristic temperature at which they turn into solids, known as their freezing point. In theory, the melting point of a solid should be the same as the freezing point of the liquid. In practice, small differences between these quantities can be observed.
