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.
Does salt affest the freezing point of water and why?
The addition of salt to water will affect the freezing point as it the freezing point temperature is lowered. It's not the salt that lowers the temperature but it's because a new solution that was created.
Why does salt effect the freezing point of water?
Salt mixes with the water raising it's freezing temperature above normal.
Why does the Arctic Ocean freeze and the Pacific does not?
As water freezes salt is released increasing the percentage of salt in the ocean water, the higher the percentage of salt the lower the freezing temperature of the water. The cycle of water freezing -> salt being released -> more water freezing reaches equilibrium at witch point the temperature necessary to freeze more water is lower then the air temperature.
Why does melt ice the fastest?
salt water freezing temperatureWhen you place salt on the ice it starts to disolve making a saltwater solution .Salt water has a lower freezing point than water; therefore, the ice melts until the temperature of the water reaches the freezing temperature of salt water at that particular concentration.
If you add salt to water does it make the water hot or cold?
salt doesn't change the temperature of water, it changes the freezing point. salt lowers the freezing point of water so that it will become ice at a lower temperature, therefor melt at a lower temperature which is why salt is put on the roads when it is icy
What is a freezing point depression?
Freezing point depression is when the normal freezing temperature of a liquid is lowered by the addition of another solate for example the freezing temperature of fresh water can be lowered by the introduction of salt. This is why when salt is laid over snow the snow melts because the salt combines with the water in the snow and thereby increases it's freezing temperature.
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.
How much salt is needed to stop 100ml of water freezing?
The freezing cannot be stopped; only the freezing temperature is lowered adding salts.
Why does salt melt ice the fastest?
salt water freezing temperatureWhen you place salt on the ice it starts to disolve making a saltwater solution .Salt water has a lower freezing point than water; therefore, the ice melts until the temperature of the water reaches the freezing temperature of salt water at that particular concentration.
Why is salt or other compounds used to treat sidewalks and roads when the air temperature is near the freezing point of water?
Salt lowers the freezing temperature and the ice melts.
What is the temperature if you put salt in water?
Adding salt does not effect the temperature.Answer:Adding salt does not change the temperature at the time you add the salt, but it raises the temperature at which the water will boil
