Salt lowers the freezing/melting point of water. Thus it can be used as a de-icer on roads and sidewalks in the winter, as well as cooling home ice cream makers.

Because salt water has a lower freezing point, it will freeze slower than regular water at the same temperature.

Out of salt water and regular water which of the two freezes the fastest.?

Regular water. Salt lowers the freezing point of water, making it harder to freeze. That's why salt is used as a de-icer on icy or snowy roads.

Does salt water melt quicker than regular water?

water doesn't melt when salt is added to ICE it lowers the temperature at which water freezes.


What freezes faster fresh water light salt water or heavy salt water?

I think it is fresh water freezes faster because the salt melts ice.


Does salt water or fresh water freezes faster?

Fresh water freezes at 32°f (0°c) at sea level. Sea water freezes at 28.4°f (-2°c) at sea level. Salt water depends on the concentration of salt. At maximum saturation salt water (23.3% by weight) freezes at -5.98°f (-21.1°c).


Why does water freezes faster then salt water?

the salt prevents the water from getting cold


Which liquid freezes faster fresh water salt water or dirt water?

Salt Water


What are the result of Which freezes faster salt water or fresh water?

Salt water freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water, so it typically takes longer for salt water to freeze compared to fresh water. This is because the presence of salt lowers the freezing point of water.


How does fresh water freezes faster than salt water?

Fresh water freezes faster than salt water because salt lowers the freezing point of water. When salt is dissolved in water, it disrupts the formation of ice crystals, requiring the salt water to become colder than fresh water in order to freeze. This phenomenon is known as the "freezing point depression."
