How do you think the melting point of salt water compares to that of pure water?

The melting point of salt water is even lower than pure water.


Goes salt lower boiling temperature of water?

Salt will lower the melting point, and raise the boiling point of water.


When ethylene glycol is added to water the melting point of water is?

Ethylene glycol is antifreeze. The mixture has a lower melting point than pure water.


Does H2O have a lower melting point then CO2?

You would need to look at a temperature / pressure graph


Why does plastic have a lower melting point than water?

Water can't melt!!!


What are the boiling and melting point's of salty water?

That depends on how much salt is dissolved in the water. Generally, the boiling point will be higher than for pure water, and the melting point will be lower than for pure water.


How does sprite melt fast?

It has a lower melting point than water.


Why is the boiling point lower than melting point?

It is the opposite. The boiling point is greater than the melting point. for example for fresh water, the boiling point is 100 centigrade while the melting point (for ice) is zero.


Why is the melting point of impure water lower than the melting point of pure water plus how can this be explained?

the melting point of IMPURE water is lower because excess chemicals and sediments (and whatever else making it impure) get in the way of the water freezing directly by making it so that when the the water froze, it also had to freeze the sediments and chemicals (or else it wouldn't be frozen)


Which is colder frozen water or frozen salt water at melting points?

The freezing point of salted water is lower compared with the freezing point of pure water. So when melting frozen salt water is colder.


Lower the melting point of wax?

I use Petroleum Jelly, (Vaseline) in my wax and it lowers the melting point a bit.


What is the effect of the salt by usingthe concept of melting point?

Salt water has a lower freezing point and a higher boiling point.
