Jähmettymispisteeseen

Jähmettymispisteeseen is a Finnish term that translates to "freezing point" or "setting point" in English. It refers to the temperature at which a liquid begins to solidify or turn into a solid. This phenomenon is a fundamental concept in physics and chemistry, describing a phase transition from a liquid to a solid state.

The jähmettymispisteeseen is a characteristic property of a substance and is generally dependent on pressure. For pure substances, the jähmettymispisteeseen is the same as the melting point, the temperature at which a solid turns into a liquid. However, for mixtures, the freezing point can be lower than the melting point, and the transition may occur over a range of temperatures.

Common examples of jähmettymispisteeseen include water, which freezes at 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) at standard atmospheric pressure. Other liquids have different freezing points; for instance, ethanol freezes at -114.1 degrees Celsius (-173.4 degrees Fahrenheit). Understanding the jähmettymispisteeseen is crucial in various applications, such as in refrigeration, antifreeze formulations, and meteorological predictions. It also plays a role in industrial processes where controlling the state of matter is essential.
