Su02 Distilled water a pure substance 2:
Changes of temperature during cooling and heating

* Left:  Even if the environment is minus 10°C, it takes hours, to change for the the freezing of water in a 5-ml
  vial while the  volume increases.
* Photo 2 Observation: Freezing started half an hour after transferring 20 ml distilled water into the
  deep freezer.  It took 2 1/2 more hours of cooling for more freezing. The thermometer showed 0°C all the time.
* After 3 hours heating of the ice started. As long as ice was present the temperature remained 0°C.
* It took only 10 more minutes for the temperature to rise to 100°C and boiling started.
* In spite of more heating the temperature of the water remained 100°C.
Right: During the distillation experiment the temperature measured in the vapour above the Cola was also
100°C.
Explanation: During melting (boiling) the water consumes the heat to become liquid (gaseous).
So its temperature remains 0°C (100)°C in spite of heating.
During freezing (condensation)  water releases heat while it becomes solid (liquid).
So its temperature remains 0°C (100)°C in spite of cooling.
