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).
Freezing-point depression describes the process in which adding a solute to a solvent decreases the freezing point of the solvent. Examples include salt in water, alcohol in water, or the mixing of two solids such as impurities in a finely powdered drug.
