Saltwater has a much lower freezing point (the freezing point is the temperature where something freezes) than freshwater does. And the more salt there is in it, the lower the freezing point gets. So in order to know the exact temperature that it's going to freeze, you have to know just how salty it is. For saltwater that's as saturated as it can possibly get (i.e. there's no way to dissolve any more salt in it no matter how hard you tried), the freezing point is -21.1 degrees Celsius. This is when the saltwater is 23.3% salt (by weight)
What else can I help you with?
How can icebergs be used as fresh water?
salt water freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water so the fresh water gets frozen and not the salt water
Is ice water or salt?
Ice is frozen water, while salt is a compound that typically exists as a crystalline solid at room temperature. When salt is added to water, it can lower the freezing point of the water, making it harder for the water to freeze into ice.
How does salt water affect the freezing point of water and help it stay frozen longer?
Salt water lowers the freezing point of water, making it harder for the water to freeze. This is because the salt disrupts the formation of ice crystals. As a result, salt water can stay frozen longer than plain water at the same temperature.
Why is the temperature needed to freeze ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze the surface of a freshwater lake?
because the ocean has salt in it rather than freshwater lake Because fresh water on the surface of a lake is frozen. Under similar conditions, salt water is not frozen.
Why is the temperature needed to freeze ocean water lower than the temperature need to freeze the surface of a freshwater lake?
because the ocean has salt in it rather than freshwater lake Because fresh water on the surface of a lake is frozen. Under similar conditions, salt water is not frozen.
Is salt water colder then ice?
well for something to freeze it has to be 0 degrees or lower which is what ice is, frozen water. so the water has to be 1 degree or more to NOT freeze so the ice is colder than salt watercoz salt water is not frozen... does t6hat make sense? Actually, salt water CAN be colder than ice because the salt lowers the freezing point of the water.
Which is colder frozen water or frozen salt water at melting points?
The freezing point of salted water is lower compared with the freezing point of pure water. So when melting frozen salt water is colder.
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.
Which melts faster salt water or non salty water?
Salt water freezes at a lower temperature, which is why salt is used to melt road ice. In an environment where the temperature is slowly getting warmer as to melt the ice, frozen salt water will melt quicker than ice.
If sea water is frozen will the salt go away?
no, the salt wont go away it will just be inside the frozen water i don't think salt freezes though.
Why does salt water melt faster than water?
Adding salt to water lowers the temperature at which water freezes from 0 degrees Celsius to several degrees colder than that (depending on how much salt is added). Practically what that means is that a sample of pure water at -1 degrees Celsius will be frozen solid, but a sample of salt water at the same temperature will remain liquid since its freezing point is lower that.
Can you separate water from salt when frozen?
No, not from the frozen state. If a saline solution (dissolved salt in water) is gently heated, the water will evaporate, leaving salt crystals behind. If the water vapour is captured and condensed, the result is drinking water.
