Yes. Ice can be much colder than that... all the way down to absolute zero!
Water freezes at 32 degrees F, but once frozen it can be any temperature lower than that. If ice at 32 degrees in contact with an object that is at a much lower temperature. The heat will then flow from the ice to the colder object. The ice will then get colder.
The physical properties of the water would have to change to allow the drop in temperature. Increase pressure, change in chemical structure (like with salt), or speed of cooling some ways. Water in a home freezer set at 10 degrees will still only cool to 32 degree.

∙ 12y agoIt can actually! Ice can go down to absolute zero. If you think about when water changes to an ice cube, it is only 32 degrees. So, if it was to be colder, there is no other phase change that it would become. The three are solids, liquids, and gases, so if it's not a liquid nor gas, it's obviously going to be a solid. I hope it helped!

∙ 14y agoThe melting point/freezing point of water is 32°F(Fahrenheit).
If the temperature is slightly above 32°F, it will start to melt.
If held at 33°F, ice will melt. Actually, a bit of a struggle will happen. The ice itself can't get above 32°F, but water on its surface can get up to 33°F, so likely a little water buffer around the ice cube will slightly insulate it while it slowly melts.

∙ 14y agoDue to the nature of freezing water, the answer is actually yes. For water to freeze, there needs to be an imperfection somewhere. Thus, if you take distilled water and put it in a (clean) plastic water bottle, it is possible to put it in your freezer and get it past 0 degrees Celsius.

Yes it can. Anything can have its temperature lowered or raised....written by Wolfgang Schwartzschild

∙ 14y agoNo, ice wont melt at 32 F. Water freezes at that temperature. In order for ice to melt you have to rise the temperature more than 32F.

Why does a ice cube melt in a glass of water?
Because water is warmer than 32 degrees and ice is colder. Setting the glass at room temperature causes the ice to melt.
What tempurature does ice melt?
Ice wont melt at temperatures colder than freezing. Any degree above that will make the ice melt exponentially faster. For example: At 35 degrees, ice will remain ice for a long time. At 212 degrees it will disappear rapidly. At 1000 degrees, it will disappear in a puff of water vapor.
Ice cubes form in the freezer because?
The freezer takes heat out of the air in it, and discards the heat elsewhere. As long as the air in the freezer is colder than the water in the ice-cube tray, heat flows out of the water into the air around it, and is removed by the freezer. If the temperature of that air happens to be lower than the melting/freezing point of water, then the water eventually freezes at some time during the process.
What is the temperature of melting ice on the Fahrenheit scale?
This temperature is 32 0F.
What is the Melting point on the Fahrenheit SCALE?
Of ice, 32 degrees.
Is 32 degrees Fahrenheit colder or hotter than 5 degrees Celsius?
Colder
How do ice sickles form?
Type your answer here... ice sickles form at -32 degrees or colder
Why does a ice cube melt in a glass of water?
Because water is warmer than 32 degrees and ice is colder. Setting the glass at room temperature causes the ice to melt.
Is 5 degrees Celsius colder than 32 degrees Celsius?
Yes, it is.
What gets drinks colder water or ice?
They could both, ice can because it is cold, and water can to because it could be at any temperature. <><><> Ice, since it is colder than water. When water is below 32 degrees F, it becomes ice. So, water cannot be "any temperature".
How do you lower the temperature of ice?
Ice will get colder than 32° F if it is put in contact with any thermally conductive body which is colder than 32° F.In principal, ice could be any temperature lower than 32° F, e.g., if your freezer temperature is 24° F, the temperature of the ice in your freezer would be 24° F.
Example of liquid to solid?
Water (liquid) placed in the freezer which is 32 degrees Fahrenheit or colder turns to ice (solid).
Is 32 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than 5 degrees Celsius?
No, its colder. Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit and 0 degrees Celsius, so 5 degrees Celsius would be hotter.
Why does ice melt when left out?
Because it is hotter than 32 degrees outside of the freezer. Water freezes at 32 degrees.
Which is colder 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees celsius?
It is the same
When the temperature is 0 degrees Fahrenheit is it warmer or colder that the freezing temperature of water?
The freezing temperature of water is 0 degrees celsius or 32 degrees fahrenheit so it is colder than the freezing temperature of water.
Is 27degrees faranhit cold?
32 degrees is the freezing point. So 27 is slightly colder than that.
