Yes it is easier to swim in seawater because it contains salt which has a lesser density than water

and it is usually cold but it seems warm because your body warms it up.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoit depends where the water is. it is classified by were the water is not but the type

Is the freezing point of ice cream lower or higher than the freezing point of water?
It is lower.
What is the effect of decreased pressure on boiling point and freezing point of water?
water can be compressed and it would make the freezing point and the boiling point lower
When a solute dissolves into water the freezing point does what?
When a solute is dissolved into water the freezing point will lower. In other words, if you want to freeze a solution of water and some solute, you will have to cool it beyond the freezing point of pure water.
Is the freezing point of a mixture of water and salt higher lower or the same of pure water or none?
lower
Why is the temperature needed to freeze the ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze the surface of a freshwater lake?
Dissolved salts in water contribute to a decrease of the freezing point.
What is the relationship between the freezing point of salt water and distilled water?
The freezing point of salt water is lower than the freezing point of distilled water.
Why is the freezing point for ocean water lower than fresh water?
Because ocean water contains 3.5 % salt.
What two factors affect ocean salinity?
Freezing point (more salt the lower the freezing point). Density (more salt, the heavier the water).
Is the freezing point of ice cream lower or higher than the freezing point of water?
It is lower.
How does the freezing point of water from the ocean compare to distilled water one buys at store?
The freezing point of ocean water is lower (approx. -2 to -3 0C).This is normal because the ocean water is not pure - may contain approx. 30 g/L salts, especially chlorides.
Which solutes will lower the freezing point of water the most?
Aluminum bromide (AlBr3) will lower the freezing point of water the most.
Why does the Arctic Ocean freeze and the Pacific does not?
As water freezes salt is released increasing the percentage of salt in the ocean water, the higher the percentage of salt the lower the freezing temperature of the water. The cycle of water freezing -> salt being released -> more water freezing reaches equilibrium at witch point the temperature necessary to freeze more water is lower then the air temperature.
Effects on freezing point when alum is dissolve in water?
The freezing point will be lower than water with nothing dissolved in it.
What is the effect of decreased pressure on boiling point and freezing point of water?
water can be compressed and it would make the freezing point and the boiling point lower
How do you lower the freezing point into water?
Add salt.
How does the alcohol based liquid to clean windshields help keep the water in the cleaning fluid from freezing on the windshield?
Because alcohol has a lower freezing point than water. By mixing it with water, you lower the waters freezing point. So it keeps the water from freezing on the windshield.
If you add salt to water does it make the freezing temperature higher or lower?
It make the boiling point higher, and the freezing point lower.
