Salt water needs to be much colder than fresh water to freeze because salt melts ice.

Does salt water freeze at the same temperature as normal water?

no, because if you put saltwater and freshwater in the freezer saltwater will not freeze completely ,because it has salt in it and it will not freeze at the same rate as freshwater that is my answer to this question.


What is the same about freshwater and saltwater?

they are both fish?


Do the same animals live in freshwater and saltwater habitats?

no


Will the sun heat saltwater and freshwater at the same rate?

No, the sun will not heat saltwater and freshwater at the same rate. Saltwater has a higher density and specific heat capacity than freshwater, meaning it requires more energy to raise its temperature. As a result, saltwater generally heats up more slowly than freshwater when exposed to the same amount of sunlight. This difference can lead to varying temperature profiles in aquatic environments.


How can a freshwater fish be with a saltwater fish?

A freshwater fish cannot be with a saltwater fish.It depends on the fish. Guppies are considered "freshwater" but will live happily in SW if properly acclimatized. Mollies are the same way.


What water gets cold faster saltwater or freshwater?

It doesn't make a difference weather it is saltwater or freshwater because they will cool at the same rate it is just that when saltwater evaporates it will leave the salt particles behind.


Will 500 gallons of saltwater have the same density as one gallon of freshwater?

What is the difference between saltwater and freshwater in fish tanks?

Does the sun heat saltwater and freshwater at the same rate?

fresh water will! XD Hey, I did an experiment on this for my science project and it was saltwater that boils easier. If you do this experiment you have to do it multiple times to make sure you get the average. It boils faster, because it has more particles which makes it warmer. For example, when we wear sweatpants, we get warm, and when we wear less clothing we take longer to warm up. Just like the particles. More particles= more heat Less particles= less heat


What is the phlyum of freshwater fish?

Freshwater and saltwater fish are in the same phylum that we are, and reptiles and amphibians and birds are in; phylum chordata, subphylum craniata, subphylum vertebrata.


Is the particles in saltwater and freshwater the same?

The particles in saltwater and freshwater differ primarily in their solute content. Freshwater consists mainly of water molecules (H₂O) with minimal dissolved substances, while saltwater contains water molecules along with a significant amount of dissolved salts, primarily sodium chloride (NaCl). This difference in solute composition affects the physical and chemical properties of the two types of water, but the fundamental structure of the water molecules remains the same.
