We all know that water freezes at 0°C. But does it freeze harder at lower temps?

My freezer is set at -21°C (-6°F) and tubs of ice cream come out hard as a rock and are near impossible to scoop. But if I set it a few degrees warmer, yet still way below the freezing point of water, I can scoop it easily. So, is there such a thing as both frozen and *really* frozen? Conversely, a boiling point is a boiling point, I believe. Heating water to a temp above 100°C gets you the same steam that you got at 100, just faster. Right?

If youre actually 5 like you claim im not going into pv=mrt. Or transitions/states.

Id say 5 year old. If you put all the water/milk/sourpatch kids in your mouth. Could you put more in there?

Otherwise. Its the same then honey. You cant make water boil or freeze more.

Then when its age appropriate explain hydrogen bonds are cool. And other fun stuff.
