Dear student 
Ans Q2 :
0°C is known to be the freezing point of water. But, actually at 0°C, water remains in its liquid state. It can occur in solid as well as liquid states also at this temperature . But, the next thing , which comes into picture to answer this is the atmospheric pressure and the latent heat of fusion.When we apply pressure to a liquid, we force the molecules to get closer together. They can therefore form stable bonds and become a solid even if they have a higher temperature than the freezing point at standard pressure.
