The freezing point of a substance is the temperature at which it transitions from a liquid phase to a solid phase at a given pressure. It is the temperature at which the liquid and solid phases of a substance coexist in equilibrium. At the freezing point, the temperature of a substance remains constant until all of the liquid has been converted to a solid. Different substances have different freezing points, which can be used to identify the substance or to monitor its purity...
