In linguistics, a suffix (also sometimes termed postfix or ending or, in older literature, affix) is an affix which is placed after the stem of a word.Common examples are case endings, which indicate the grammatical case of nouns or adjectives, and verb endings, which form the conjugation of verbs.Particularly in the study of Semitic languages, a suffix is called an afformative, as they can alter the form of the words.n Indo-European studies, a distinction is made between suffixes and endings (see Proto-Indo-European root). A word-final segment that is somewhere between a free morpheme and a bound morpheme is known as a suffixoid or a semi-suffix (e.g., English-like or German-freundlich 'friendly').
The freezing point of water at a pressure of one atmosphere is 0Â°C (32Â°F); that of liquid nitrogen is -209.89Â°C (-345.8Â°F).
The change in the freezing point is proportional to the amount of solute added. This phenomenon is called freezing point depression. Another way to think about freezing point depression is to consider the solid surface area available to the solvent molecules.
