Yes and no. When you try to freeze saltwater it will take much longer than regular water would. Also it will not freeze all the way through it will just have a layer on top.

WHICH ONE Will freeze first saltwater or sugarwater?

Saltwater will freeze at a lower temperature than sugarwater due to the presence of the salt ions, which disrupt the formation of ice crystals. Therefore, sugarwater will freeze first as it has a higher freezing point than saltwater.


Can saltwater and freshwater freeze different or the same?

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


Suppose you put equal amounts of saltwater and pure water into separate ice cube trays of the same size and shape When you put both trays in the freezer what do you expect to happen and why?

The ice cube tray with pure water will freeze first because salt lowers the freezing point of water, requiring more time for the saltwater to freeze. Additionally, the ice cubes from the saltwater tray will be slightly smaller and will melt at a lower temperature compared to pure water ice cubes.


Does freshwater marsh freeze faster than salt water marsh?

Freshwater marshes typically freeze faster than saltwater marshes due to the lower freezing point of freshwater compared to saltwater. Saltwater marshes have a lower freezing point due to the presence of dissolved salts, which can inhibit the formation of ice.

How long does it take 1 cup of saltwater to freeze?

Why do you need to use a saltwater solution as a part of a bath when making homemade ice cream?

Salt water does not freeze completely when the temperature drops below 0 degrees. However, it does reach that point, and since it is a liquid, it is a direct application of the cold to the ice cream. I you only apply cold air to the ice cream, it takes longer to freeze, which results in large ice chunks in your ice cream.

Is the North South poles made of saltwater if so couldn't there be wind generators to use the ice like a battery?

No, as I'm sure there is an insignificant amount of salt in the polar ice... saltier water has to be very cold to even begin to freeze. Typically when the ocean water starts to freeze the salt is seperated and stays in the ocean leaving more pure ice.


Does vinegar freeze faster than saltwater?

Hot water will freeze faster than vinegar because the hot water atoms will slow quickly and the vinegar will take longer to freeze because it contains an oil like sustance which take lionger to freeze.
