Adding salt to water will lower the freezing point, thus requiring the salt water to get colder before it will freeze - it thus takes longer to freeze because it takes additional time to cool from the normal freezing point on down to the new (colder) freezing point.

Does salt water freeze faster or slower than fresh water?
Salt water is slower.
Does 1 tablespoon of salt in water freeze slower than 3 tablespoons of salt in water?
no
Why does salt freeze slower than sugar?
Salt water freezes slower than sugar because salt water has more molecules than sugar...so it drops the temp and the process of freezing
Does salt water make Lima beans grow faster or slower?
Salt water make Lima beans grow slower
Why does water freezes the fastest?
water has nothing in it but if you put some stuff in it will freeze slower.
Does salt water freeze faster than cold?
For shear simplicity regular water freezes faster. Salt lowers the freezing point of water, to what degree depends on the chemical makeup of that particular kind of salt. For a more advanced answer we need to study the chemistry of both salt and water a bit more. Salt can contain any number of elements, (Ca-Calcium, Cl-Chloride, Na-Sodium, SO4-Sulfate... etc.) the more particles present of each element the lower the freezing point of water (H2O). When salt is added to water these elements join the chemical makeup of water and the salt basically gets in the way of the chemical interactions between H-Hydrogen and O-Oxygen. The amount of difference greatly varies depending on the amount of salt present and the chemical compound of the salt.
What freeze faster salt or water?
Water will freeze faster than salt water.
Why did the salt water freeze but the salt did?
The salt is a substance and it a ingredient that will not freeze.
What will melt ice faster salt or water?
Salt because water especially hot water will make it freeze faster.
What freezes faster saltwater or plainwater?
Plain water because the salt in the other water lowers the freezing point. All molecules must line up in order to freeze, therefore if adding salt, the Na and CL must line up with the water molecules in order to freeze. With plain water, the molecules line up faster and thus freeze faster.
If salt water freezes does the salt freeze to?
If the salt is still in the water it will freeze inside the water so its technically frozen
Does salt water freeze faster than sugar water?
no salt water does not freeze faster than sugar.
