The freezing point of copper, around 1085°C, denotes the temperature at which liquid copper solidifies into a solid. This phase transition involves a decrease in Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and entropy, reflecting the change in the molecular arrangement of copper atoms. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) are commonly used techniques to study the thermodynamics of copper freezing, providing insights into the solidification process and its implications for industrial applications like casting and soldering.
