When the salt dissolves, energy is required to break the bonds between the ions in it. Since there is nowhere else to get the energy from, the water loses some of its heat to do this, and the solution then cools down.

What happens if you put water into salt water?
Salt will dissolve in water. Adding salt will lower the temperature of water by a few degrees Celsius as well as lower the freezing point.
How does adding salt to water affect the temperature?
It does not affect the temperature of the water, but solutes raise the boiling point and lower the freezing point.
How does adding salt to water affect its freezing degree and why?
Adding salt to water depresses its freezing point. Water freezes at 0 oC but adding salt to it will make the intermolecular water to water bonds more difficult to form. The salt disrupts the structure of the solid water. Therefore, water freezes at a lower temperature if it has impurities added.
Why does salt water have to reach a lower colder temperature to freeze?
This phenomenon is called freezing point depression. Adding a solute (salt) to a solvent (water) the vapour pressure of water decrease; a new equilibrium is obtained at a lower temperature than 0 oC.
What is the temperature if you put salt in water?
Adding salt does not effect the temperature.Answer:Adding salt does not change the temperature at the time you add the salt, but it raises the temperature at which the water will boil
Freezing point when salt is with a liquid?
Adding a salt to a pure substance depresses the melting point and elevates the boiling point.Adding salt to water will enable it to stay liquid at a lower temperature than 0 oC; adding salt to ice will drop its temperature (this phenomenon was used in old fashioned ice cream makers); adding salt to water will make it boil at a temperature higher than 100 oC
Does drinking water boil at a lower temperature than salt water?
Yes, drinking water does boil at a lower temperature than salt water.
How does fresh water freezes faster than salt water?
When water has a substance dissolved in it, it freezes at a lower temperature. Salt water has salt dissolved in the water, so it freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water.
Which will freeze the faster between salt water sugar water and tap water?
Tap Water because adding substances to the water (salt or sugar) reduce the rate at which water will form ice crystals, making it freeze at a lower temperature.
Why can we separate salt from water?
Water evaporates at a MUCH lower temperature than salt.
Goes salt lower boiling temperature of water?
Salt will lower the melting point, and raise the boiling point of water.
If you add salt to water does it make the water hot or cold?
salt doesn't change the temperature of water, it changes the freezing point. salt lowers the freezing point of water so that it will become ice at a lower temperature, therefor melt at a lower temperature which is why salt is put on the roads when it is icy
