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"

∙ 15y agoNot as much as I would of thought. Normal water freezes at 0 degrees and lower. Salt water freezes at about -2digrees,(-1.93 to be exact)

The freezing point of salted water depends on the concentation of salt: this temperature may be as low as -18 0C.

Why does a test tube of fresh water freeze quickly in iced salt water?
salt lowers the freezing point of the water
Why does pond water freeze easier than salt water?
Saltwater has a much lower freezing point (the freezing point is the temperature where something freezes) than fresh water does. The more salt there is in water, the lower is the freezing point.
Frozen salt water melt faster then frozen fresh water?
Salt lowers the melting or freezing point of water. The effect is termed 'freezing point depression'. Therefore frozen salt water melts faster and remain melted for long.
Does salt salt slow down evaporation?
Salt will slow freezing, but not evaporation. As say salt water evaporates, it will leave behind its salt contents, but it will not evaporate any slower than fresh water.
Do salt water boil faster than non salt water?
Adding a salt to a substance changes its boiling and freezing points, but it lowers its freezing point and raises its boiling point. So, salt water actually takes more heat to boil because the salt has raised the boiling point.
What freezes faster fresh water salt water or dirty water?
Fresh water, because aqueous solutions have depressed freezing points.
What are the freezing points of fresh and salt water?
The freezing point of pure water, at atmospheric pressure is 0 deg C. That of salt water depends on which salt and the concentration of the solution. The lowest temperature that can be obtained is -21 deg C.
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.
Salt water and fresh water freezing?
yes they will both freeze
Which type of water freezes first fresh or salt water?
Fresh water freezes at a higher temperature than Salt water. So Fresh Water doesn't have to lose as much heat in a given amount of time in order to Freeze.
Does pure water or salt water have higher freezing points?
normal water
Why does a test tube of fresh water freeze quickly in iced salt water?
salt lowers the freezing point of the water
Why does ocean water get colder than fresh water before freezing?
This is because of the salt in the water
What are the constants between salt water and fresh water in regards to freezing?
The difference is that fresh water will freeze at 0.c and salt will freeze to a lower temperature due to the presence of impurities (salt).
Which water freezes faster salt water or fresh water and why?
Fresh water freezes at a higher temperature than salt water. This is because the presence of impurities in water lowers its freezing point.
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.
Can salt water be changed into freshed water?
Salt water can be converted to fresh water by freezing and removing the ice crystals, distillation or by reverse osmosis.
