interesting question. As we know it pure water freezes at 0C or 32F. since sugar water is not pure H2O, it stands to reason that it would freeze at lower temperature than of 32F. The same is true with salt water. It freezes at lower temperature, (hence the calcium on the roads during the winter that "melts the snow") and it also boils at higher temperature than of 100C or 212F (hence our grand mother adding salt to water when boiling spaghetti- it only increased the boiling point of the water and slightly increased the speed of the cooking)

It is tough to say if Sugar would act in the same manner, by making water impure and now making it freeze right away at 32F or 0C.. I grew up in Canada, and whe the maple tree were tapped with bucket to collect the Sap (sugar water to make maple syrup) it was often frozen in the mornings after freezing overnight!

So I vote that sugar water, freezes at lower temperature that of 0C.... but maybe close to like -2C of 30 F or so!

this is non scientific... but by simple deduction, and observation... Dear Watson!

Which water freezes faster salt water or sugar water?

Sugar water freezes faster than salt water. However, regular tap water will freeze faster than either salt, or sugar water.


Which will freeze the faster between salt water sugar water and tap water?

Tap Water because adding substances to the water (salt or sugar) reduce the rate at which water will form ice crystals, making it freeze at a lower temperature.


Which freezes faster out of salt water sugar water and tap water and why?

Assuming there are equal concentrations of salt and sugar in each sample, the sugar water will freeze faster. Salt dissociates into its ions when dissolved, giving two ions for ever salt molecule. Because freezing point depression depends only on concentration, and the concentration of ions is double that of the sugar, sugar will freeze faster.


Which will freeze fastest tap water tap salt water and tap sugared water?

Plain Tap water would freeze fastest.Adding salt or sugar to tap water will cause a depression/decrease in freezing point. Hence it will be harder to freeze the tap salt or sugar water.


Why does tap water freeze faster than tap water?

No, it isn't faster, tap water freezes just at the same temperature as tap water

Do sugar crystals grow faster in tap water or distilled water?

Sugar crystals grow faster in tap water because there are more chemicals in tap water.
