Also question is, how does pressure affect melting point? For most substances, higher pressure or air pressure , in your case will cause the melting temperature to go up.
Melting it would increase the volume of that substance because liquids take more space than solids. If you increase the pressure , it becomes harder for that transformation to occur. Secondly, what is the relationship between boiling point and pressure?
The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the pressure at enviornment of liquid and the liquid changes to vapor. A liquid in a vacuum has a lower boiling point than when that liquid is at atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure influences the boiling point of water.
When atmospheric pressure increases, the boiling point becomes higher, and when atmospheric pressure decreases as it does when elevation increases , the boiling point becomes lower. Pressure on the surface of water tends to keep the water molecules contained. The melting point of a substance depends on pressure and is usually specified at a standard pressure such as 1 atmosphere or kPa.
When considered as the temperature of the reverse change from liquid to solid, it is referred to as the freezing point or crystallization point.
Increasing pressure usually increases the boiling point of a liquid. For melting point , increasing the pressure makes some difference. If the liquid is less dense than the solid phase, then higher pressure increases the melting point. Also water liquid is generally considered essentially incompressible, as with solid form, so I'm not sure why volumetric differences come into play Pressure has little affect on these, however vapor is a different story.
Also if the knife thing were true, you would see water phase change back into ice when you removed the force applied. For any substance to melt, it has to overcome or reduces the interaction forces that keeps the particles together in solid state. As the pressure of substance increases, particles tends to remains compacted, increasing of pressure during melting hindering in melting process, makes it difficult to overcome the strong force of attraction, i.
That's why the melting point increases as the pressure increase. According to the phase diagrams of water, the freezing point and melting point is inversely proportional to increase in pressure. About the volume concept , that's actually the concept of Le Chatelier's principle that if you increase pressure on a system, the system will shift in the direction of decreasing volume. When you compare it with the concept of "Ice having greater volume then liquid water', it connects.
And I think we can apply the pressure on solid and liquid here because it is the change in pressure around the liquid or solid we are talking about , not the effect of pressure inside the liquid or solid.

The dotted green line shows the melting point for water. Water is denser as a liquid, so higher pressures decrease the melting temperature. The second red point in the diagram is the critical point. The dotted black lines show the area where a supercritical fluid exists. This is the high-temperature, high-pressure part of the diagram.
Because the temperature is high, the molecules have lots of kinetic energy, so a liquid form isn't really stable because the intermolecular forces aren't strong enough to hold such energetic molecules together. However, the pressure is so high that the molecules can't really get away from each other either, so they bump into each other a lot, and feel some attractions, and don't really act like a normal gas certainly not an ideal gas!
As a solid is heated, its particles vibrate more rapidly as the solid absorbs kinetic energy. Eventually, the organization of the particles within the solid structure begins to break down and the solid starts to melt. The melting point is the temperature at which a solid changes into a liquid. At its melting point, the disruptive vibrations of the particles of the solid overcome the attractive forces operating within the solid.
As with boiling points, the melting point of a solid is dependent on the strength of those attractive forces. Sodium chloride NaCl is an ionic compound that consists of a multitude of strong ionic bonds. Ice solid H 2 O is a molecular compound whose molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds. Though hydrogen bonds are the strongest of the intermolecular forces, the strength of hydrogen bonds is much less than that of ionic bonds.
The melting point of a solid is the same as the freezing point of the liquid.
