Best Answer

Ice forms when the temperature reaches 32 degrees Fahrenheit. When salt is added the temperature drops so that a 10 per cent salt solution freezes at 20 degrees Fahrenheit and a 20 percent solution freezes at 2 degrees. Salt dissolves into the liquid water in the ice and lowers its freezing point
