well for something to freeze it has to be 0 degrees or lower which is what ice is, frozen water. so the water has to be 1 degree or more to NOT freeze so the ice is colder than salt watercoz salt water is not frozen... does t6hat make sense? Actually, salt water CAN be colder than ice because the salt lowers the freezing point of the water.
it is warmer
Adding salt to ice water does make it colder. It lowers the freezing point of the water making the mixture colder. The ice will melt more slowly because the water's freezing and melting points have been depressed by the addition of the solvent salt.
Because salt lowers the temperature of the water. It's a chemical reaction.

Adding the salt does not by itself lower the temperature of the water, it simply lowers the freezing point of the water.
Because of its chemicalsAnother AnswerSalt does not make ice 'colder'; salt melts ice by reducing its freezing point based on the mixture of salts with the ice/ water.
Salt lowers the freezing temperature of water/ice therefore the water/ice needs to be colder then usual to freeze.
AnswerTo make it colder.
Dry ice is colder
I Know Snow is colder than Ice butt Ice Water is much colder than ice
Salt doesn't make ice colder. It basically reduces the melting point of ice. Is an untrue answer, it melts the ice faster.
Because the salt lowers the freezing temperature of the water making the water colder. Ice in a glass of water will cool to 32 degrees. Ice with salt and water will cool to 25 degrees.
It lowers the freezing temperature of the water/ice, causing it to become much colder and making colder/better ice cream.
