In a freezing or chilling manner. A crowded and attentive House, which, whilst freezingly deprecatory, remained politely attentive. R. J. Hinton , Eng. Radical Leaders, p. 35. freezing-mixture (frē'zing-miks tūr), n . A mixture that has the property of producing a sufficient degree of cold-that is, a sufficiently rapid absorption of heat-to freeze liquids. In general, such a mixture consists of a solid and a liquid in which the solid rapidly di olves: for example, hydrochloric acid and sodium sulphate. Its effect is due to the fact that the change of a solid to a liquid requires a certain amount of heat (see latent heat , under heat ), and if this change goes on rapidly, a considerable lowering of temperature results. In the common case of pounded ice and salt, which gives a ten per at ure of about 0° F. (-18° C.), there is a double change, both resulting in the absorption of heat the melting of the ice and the solution of the salt. See ice - machine .
