Sugar turns water into gatorade. Salt can be used to raise the boiling point or lower the freezing point of water.


How does salt keep water from freezing on your roadways?

Salt lowers the freezing temperature of water, which means that it has to be colder for the water to freeze.


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.


Why does the freezing point affect the freezing of salt water?

It does not, but salt affects the freezing point. All solids are frozen. Each has a different freezing point. Ice is just the freezing point of water. But your computer keys are frozen too. Different substances freeze differently. But for your purposes, compare water to salt water. The salt in the water causes there to be more things in the water that disrupt the tight hydrogen bonds.Since freezing is tighter H-bonds, salt lowers the freezing temperature because it is harder to freeze it now since there is salt in it.

Why does salt effect the freezing point of water?

Salt mixes with the water raising it's freezing temperature above normal.


How do you make water freeze when it has salt with flavord and one that is just water and salt?

The addition of salt and flavoring will not prevent water from freezing. However, the freezing point may be slightly altered due to the salt content. In general, salt lowers the freezing point of water, so the water with salt will freeze at a lower temperature compared to pure water.
