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.
Is If sea water has salt in it it will freeze at a lower temperature than fresh water is this sentence a hypothesis?
No. A hypothesis would be "As the gradient of salt in the water increases the freezing point would decrease"
Why does an egg floats in salt solution but not in fresh water?
Because the salt increases water density making it possible the egg to float. (If it really happens)
How long does it take for fresh water to freeze?
Many variables affect the freezing of " fresh water ". It depends on the surface temperature of " fresh water ", whether still or moving, and the rate of the air temperature dropping below freezing.
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.
What is the freezing point in Celsius in Suva Fiji?

Salt water and fresh water freezing?
yes they will both freeze
Do no-bake cookies stay fresh after freezing and do they freeze well?
They stay fresh one month in the freezer and they freeze well.
Why do salt melt ice?
This is simply because salt water has a lower freezing temperature than fresh water - as the percetage of salt to water increases the freezing temperature drops. As ice has a lower density than water, less salt is required per volume (as there is less water per volume). For every 1% of salinity the freezing point drops about 1/2 a degree (although it is not linear).
What are fresh food?
Food that is not preserved by canning, dehydration, freezing or smoking.
What is known freezing point for fresh water?
