Fresh water freezes at a higher temperature than Salt water. So Fresh Water doesn't have to lose as much heat in a given amount of time in order to Freeze.

* Salt water is no longer water so it will have a different freezing point to pure water.

How does fresh water freezes faster than salt water?
When water has a substance dissolved in it, it freezes at a lower temperature. Salt water has salt dissolved in the water, so it freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water.
Will salt water remain frozen longer than fresh water?
Fresh water freezes at 32°f (0°c) at sea level. Sea water freezes at 28.4°f (-2°c) at sea level. Salt water depends on the concentration of salt. At maximum saturation salt water (23.3% by weight) freezes at -5.98°f (-21.1°c).
WHICH ONE Will freeze first saltwater or sugarwater?
Fresh water will freeze first. This is because when water freezes the hydrogen bonds form a rigid structure (Ice). Salt and sugar molecules interfere with this formation.
Which water will freeze faster salt water or fresh water?
Fresh water will freeze faster than salt water, and at a higher temperature too. Why?Salt water is called salt water due to its containing dissolved salts -- usually Sodium Chloride (NaCl), but any other salts will do. When water freezes, the molecules link up into a crystal structure (ice). The atoms of any dissolved salts will interfere with the formation of the crystal, meaning more energy will have to be taken out (the temperature will have to drop lower) before salt water freezes.
Does salt water expand when it freezes?
NO
What freezes faster fresh water light salt water or heavy salt water?
I think it is fresh water freezes faster because the salt melts ice.
How does fresh water freezes faster than salt water?
When water has a substance dissolved in it, it freezes at a lower temperature. Salt water has salt dissolved in the water, so it freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water.
What are the result of Which freezes faster salt water or fresh water?
Fresh water freezes much much quicker.
Which water freezes faster salt water or fresh water and why?
Fresh water freezes at a higher temperature than salt water. This is because the presence of impurities in water lowers its freezing point.
Which freezes faster tap water or fresh water not salt or suger water?
Fresh water
Which liquid freezes faster fresh water salt water or dirt water?
Salt Water
Which freezes faster fresh H2O or salt H2O?
fresh water, because salt water is more dense
What are some properties of saltwater?
- Salt water is heavier than fresh water. - Fresh water freezes at zero degrees Celsius (32F), but salt water freezes at lower temperatures, depending on the amount of salt in the water. - Salt water boils at a higher temperature than fresh water.
Does salt water or fresh water freezes faster?
Fresh water freezes at 32°f (0°c) at sea level. Sea water freezes at 28.4°f (-2°c) at sea level. Salt water depends on the concentration of salt. At maximum saturation salt water (23.3% by weight) freezes at -5.98°f (-21.1°c).
How can icebergs be used as fresh water?
salt water freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water so the fresh water gets frozen and not the salt water
How does the salt water in the Antarctic become fresh water?
When it freezes, the salt remains behind in the sea.
Does fresh water freeze faster or salt water?
Fresh water freezes at 32°f (0°c) at sea level. Sea water freezes at 28.4°f (-2°c) at sea level. Salt water depends on the concentration of salt. At maximum saturation salt water (23.3% by weight) freezes at -5.98°f (-21.1°c).
