When salt is added to an ice and water at 0 degrees celsius what happens?

Some Ice would melt, absorbing heat (enthalpy for the phase transition). Since Salt Water has a lower freezing point than zero degrees, the liquid will cool down. This colder liquid will chill the ice (if it isn't already colder than zero) and the result will be a mixture of ice and water that is colder than zero degrees C.
This is why adding salt to ice buckets can cool Champagne faster.

What happens to water at 25 degrees celsius?
Nothing. It is a liquid. Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius, and boils at 100 degrees Celsius.
What happens when water changes from 80 degree Celsius to 120 degree Celsius?
At normal (standard) pressure (100kP) water evaporates at 100 Degrees Celsius.
When salt is added to boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius will the water boil faster or slower?
Slower, at higher temperature that is.
Why does water not freeze at 4 degrees Celsius?
Ice melts at 0 degrees Celsius. That is a speciality of water. At 3.98 degrees Celsius, the density of water is highest before it begins to form ice crystals. Water at this temperature may be a slush of water and ice.
What temperature water boils and freezes at in celsius?
Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius and freezes at 0 degrees Celsius.
What happens to water at 25 degrees celsius?

What happens at 0 degrees Celsius?
Water freezes.
What happens to water below zero degrees celsius?
It freezes.
What happens to water below 0 degrees celsius?
it freezes
What happens to liquid water 0 degrees celsius?
It freezes
What is the temperature of 100 Celsius in degrees?
100 degrees Celsius is the boiling point of water, which happens to be 212 degrees Fahrenheit at standard pressure
What happens 0 C on the celsius temperature scale?
Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and at 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
What happens to water between 0 degrees and 4 degrees celsius?
The water starts to occupy more space.
What happens when water reaches 0 celsius?
Water freezesat 0 degrees C
