Adding salt to water increases its density and lowers its freezing point.
----------------------
I've just completed a repeated experiment on the effects of salt and the freezing point of water. A saturated salt solution will not freeze at -15 degrees Celsius (my freezer temperature). At exactly -21.1 degrees Celsius the salt begins to crystallize out of the solution, along with the ice, until the solution completely freezes.

How does adding salt to water affect the temperature?
It does not affect the temperature of the water, but solutes raise the boiling point and lower the freezing point.
Will NaCl's affect the freezing point of a solution make the freezing point increase?
The freezing point of water solutions containing sodium chloride is lower.
A student wishes to test the hypothesis that adding antifreeze to water lowers the freezing point of the water What would be the dependent variable?
The dependent variable would be the freezing point of the solution.
Will adding different flavors of Kool-aid to boiling water affect its boiling point acuwul answer?
What is the hypothesis on how will adding different flavors of koolaid affect the boiling point of water
Do additives affect how fast water freezes?
adding additives to water does effect the freezing point of water. When NaCl is added, it can effect it. Because the outside temperature isn't cold enough to keep the ice frozen inside.
How does salt affect the water's melting point?
Adding salt to water the freezing point decrease.
How does adding salt to water affect the temperature?
It does not affect the temperature of the water, but solutes raise the boiling point and lower the freezing point.
How does adding salt affect the freezing point of water and what is the procedure of this experiment?
Adding salt (sodium chloride) the freezing point of water decrease; for an experiment add gradually salt (in known quantities) and measure the freezing point after each addition.
Does adding vinegar to water affect its freezing time?
Yes because it is no longer water so will have a different freezing time or point
The freezing point of water can be lowered by adding?
By adding any "foreign" molecules or ions. Such as if u add sugar or salt to water, it will lower the freezing point of water.
What does adding antifreeze to water do?
It lowers the freezing point.
What does salt have to do with the freezing point of water?
Adding salt to water the freezing point decrease.
How does salt affect the melting and freezing point of water?
Salt decreases the freezing point of water and increases the boiling point of water.
Does salt affect the temperature of water -boiling point - freezing point?
i would opt for the Freezing point. salt decreases the freezing point of water. so if water would normally freeze at 0C, saltwater would freeze at -3C.
How does adding salt to water affect its freezing degree and why?
Adding salt to water depresses its freezing point. Water freezes at 0 oC but adding salt to it will make the intermolecular water to water bonds more difficult to form. The salt disrupts the structure of the solid water. Therefore, water freezes at a lower temperature if it has impurities added.
How do you prevent sorbitol from freezing?
how to get the freezing point of sorbitol solutin lower at -18 oC WITH ADDING OF WATER
How does adding salt to water affect the way water changes temperature how does it affect the freezing point?
A salt dissolved in water creates ion-dipole intermolecular bonds which interfere both with the formation of crystal lattices (which must happen for the water to freeze) and the breakdown of intermolecular bonds (which must happen for the water to vaporize). Adding salt to water will lower the freezing point of the water - this is why putting salt on snow-covered roads breaks up the snow and ice.
