Is salt water colder than fresh water?
The freezing point of salted water is lower than the freezing point of pure water; this is a phenomenon known as freezing point depression when a solute exist in the solution.
Why does sea water freezes faster than fresh water?
sea water doesnt freeze faster than fresh water, fresh water freezes faster than sea water as it has a lower freezing point than sea water has as sea water contains salt which makes the boiling/freezing points increase therefore making the sea water freeze at a lower temperature.
What is the freezing point in Celsius in Suva Fiji?
Eh, freezing point of what? Fresh water is uncomplicated, that is zero degrees Celsius.
When altitude increases what happens to the freezing point of fresh water?
it rises
Dose salt effect the freezing point of fresh water?
Of course not!!! If you added salt to fresh water, it wouldn't be fresh, anymore . . . gees.
Why does a test tube of fresh water freeze quickly in iced salt water?
The salt in the water lowers its freezing point, causing the water to become colder than 0 degrees Celsius. This rapid transfer of heat from the fresh water to the iced salt water speeds up the freezing process of the fresh water in the test tube.
What is the freezing point of salt water - and of fresh water?
Pure fresh water freezes at 0° C. Average for sea water is about -2° C. In a solution of more extreme salinity, the freezing point might be depressed to as low as -30° C.
What term refers to a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius?
The freezing point of fresh water under normal conditions.
What is the freezing points of fresh water and salt water?
The freezing point of saltwater is lower than the freezing point of freshwater upto a specific ratio of salt & water. The freezing point goes below upto -11 C, but if you increase the salt content thereafter the freezing point will increase above 0 c. The sal and water mixture is usually termed as "Brine"
Why is the freezing point for ocean water lower than fresh water?
Ocean water contains salt, which lowers its freezing point compared to fresh water. This is because salt disrupts the formation of ice crystals, requiring colder temperatures for freezing to occur in ocean water.
What temperature does water turn solid?
The freezing point of fresh water is 0° C or 32° F.
How does fresh water freezes faster than salt water?
Fresh water freezes faster than salt water because salt lowers the freezing point of water. When salt is dissolved in water, it disrupts the formation of ice crystals, requiring the salt water to become colder than fresh water in order to freeze. This phenomenon is known as the "freezing point depression."
