.....Heat CANNOT be withdrawn from a container without lowering its temperature below 0.......
To freeze any ice in that zero degree container of water thermal energy must be withdrawn. About 80 calories of thermal energy must be withdrawn for every gram of ice formed.
One way that can be done even when the surroundings are also at zero degrees is by evaporation of the water. Even at zero degrees water does have a vapor pressure, about 4.6 torr. If the container has an open top (not specified initially) and the humidity of the surrounding air low enough (not specified initially) then there will be evaporation. Slow, but still some evaporation. That evaporation carries away thermal energy from the container of water. (The molecules of water leaving the surface of the water are the faster moving ones, the "hotter" ones, leaving behind "cooler" ones.) Carries away about 596 calories for every gram of water evaporated at 0 degrees. Will form over 7 grams of ice for every gram of liquid water vaporized.
Err, what has that to do with the original question? "Will pure water freeze in a container at 720 Torr and 0 degrees Centigrade?" He made an error in typing 720 Torr instead of 760 Torr but that makes no difference anywhere near one atmosphere. |

The entire point of the challenge was presented as a stable system, if not closed, then certainly not being vented by some sort of fan. In other words, any vapor pressure would likewise remain in equilibrium, precluding further evaporation. Everyone has "learned" that water freezes at 0 Centigrade, when in fact it does not, any more than ice melts at the same temperature. Equilibrium prevails.
The additional lesson is that some people prefer to argue, no matter what. You could give away a million dollars and some smartass would condemn you for not giving away two million, and to a (some) "better" recipient(s). |

The problem with the original question is that too little information is given to answer it.
As has been explained, whether water at 0 C and atmospheric pressure freezes or not depends on other factors that were not specified in the original question, such as the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air, whether the container is open or not, and whether nucleation centres are present.
Also, the OP is simply wrong to claim that water does not freeze and ice does not melt at 0 C. In fact, both statements are true. He or she has clearly failed to understand the concept of latent heat of fusion. |

No, the problem is that many questions are ill-defined and do not have straight yes or no answers. I know that conservatives such as yourself do have a tendency to view the world in black-or-white terms, especially as cognitive ability declines with age, but I'm afraid reality is more complicated than that. |

"Surrounding air" is certainly higher in temperature, and therefore extermal humidity is higher as well.k So your little game is of no use. To pretend that a vacuum pump or some similar device withdraws 4.7 Torr of water vapor is the height of nonsense. That atmosphere would have to be replaced with the external source which would be even higher, not lower, than 4.7 Torr.

I did not say that water "does not freeze" at 0 C. You misquote and misunderstand. I specified the "container". What part of "container" temperature do you not comprehend?
For you to play silly games that ice will melt while water freezes in the same container under the same identical conditions is the height of ignorance and game-playing.

It is? You didn't specify that. In that case, the water certainly will not freeze; it will immediately start warming and continue to warm at an exponentially decreasing rate as the temperature of the water approaches that of the surrounding air. If the surrounding air is saturated with water vapour, then the water will eventually reach the same temperature as the air, otherwise it will stabilise at a slightly lower temperature due to evaporative cooling. Of course, I'm assuming here that the unspecified air temperature is less than 100 C!

This is correct. The water will not even begin to freeze unless the air immediately above it is also cold. That energy to cool that air goes into the colder water until they are the same temperature.
Fortunately for ice trays and the like, air is a pretty good insulator in general. Heat conductivity through dry air is fairly low. Heat mostly moves through air as convective heating. All you need to cool is the layer immediately above the water.
Evaporative cooling is also an energy loss for the water, lowering its temperature.

What is Truth?
Science is a set of falsifiable theories about nature. Each theory is formed as an opinion. That is, after all, what all theories are, whether scientific theories or otherwise.
What makes a scientific theory more than just the circular argument it starts as is the test of falsifiability.

There is no 'process' of science. The 'method' of science has one and only one purpose: To satisfy the demands of the definition of science.
Science is just a set of falsifiable theories that describe nature.

What is Truth?
Science is a set of falsifiable theories about nature. Each theory is formed as an opinion. That is, after all, what all theories are, whether scientific theories or otherwise.
What makes a scientific theory more than just the circular argument it starts as is the test of falsifiability.
You get stupider by the minute. "What is truth?" and then you say that truth doesn't exist but false does.
False is not the opposite of Truth. False is the opposite of true. The words 'true' and 'Truth' mean different things.
'False', 'true', and 'Truth' do exist. That's why we have words for them. I never said they don't exist. Why do you keep jumping to false dichotomies like this?
You still haven't answered the question:
What is Truth?
And this is why Starman quoted the paper, "A Crisis of Confidence" in which the opening statement includes, " far too many college graduates have not
learned to write effectively, they can not read and comprehend any reasonably complex book, they have not learned to reason, and their basic knowledge of the history and institutions of the society in which they live is lamentably poor. "
Going for the strawman argument eh? Redirections like this are also a fallacy, dude.
You might try to actually answer the question put to you.
My wife has been a teacher all her life. I love to show her your postings and they are everything that she has told me that education has become - a group of people that do nothing more than sit around a classroom telling themselves how smart they are.
She particularly liked your idea that true and truth were not the same.
Now you show that you haven't even the idea what a straw man argument is by making one yourself while accusing someone else. |

YOU are the one that is constantly trying to redirect the conversation. YOU are the one bringing strawmen arguments. YOU are the one evading the question put to you. YOU are the one I am accusing of evasion.
Now YOU are hiding behind your wife's skirts because she is a teacher???

Now you're full of tears. Face it - you're stupid. You will make ANY claim to try to prove to yourself that you're brilliant. |

Stop your nonsense. It became tiresome long ago, and you add NOTHING to the dialogue.

But you have to admit that he does pose comic relief with things like "truth" and "true" are different. |

What dialogue?
Your original question that you presented has been answered....you attempted to make your point...done.
If you don't want to allow anyone to attempt to answer a question that he himself directed the thread into, what power do you have to enforce it?
None.

The point is that you have attempted to murder the dialog with your phony beliefs. |
