Why does antifreeze or any soluble substance put in water lower its freezing temperature?

The reason antifreeze, as well as other soluble substances, lower the freezingtemperature when added to water, is because they hinder the creation of the hexagonal ice structure. Soluble simply means having the capability of dissolving in a liquid.

Capable of being dissolved?
Solubility: The ability of one substance to dissolve in another at a given temperature and pressure
What does insoluble and soluble substances?
A substance is soluble with another substance if it can be dissolved into it. solubility is defined with respect to another substance (usually water) eg) salt is soluble in water. oil is insoluble in water.
What dose soluble mean in science?
A substance that is soluble means that it will dissolve when mixed with another substance. So if your antacid will dissolve in water, it is said to be "water soluble"
What is the substance for KOH reasonably soluble or insoluble in water?
It isreasonably soluble
Which term describes a substance that can be dissolved in a solution?
"soluble"
What is the effect of soluble volatile substance on the boiling point of a water solution?
A soluble volatile substance will lower the boiling point of a solution. The volatile substance will boil at a lower temperature than the water component, thus causing the solution to boil at a lower temperature.

What temperature does water-soluble in boil at?
The boiling point of water is 100 oC at 760 mm Hg.
What does soluble mean?
Soluble means able to be dissolved or able to be solved.For example, the soluble mystery questioned whether salt was soluble in water.Or, fat is soluble in oil but not in water, since polar solvents dissolve polar solutes while nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes, but not vice-versa.
What are soluble substances?
A soluble substance is a substance that can dissolve in another substance.
Why Does Gatorade freeze faster than water?
The reason is that the diet cola does not have any sugar (or fructose) in it. The sugar helps to keep the temperature low and therefore the diet cola warms up faster and therefore melts the ice quicker.
List a substance that is soluble in water?
Sugar can substance soluble in water.

Is a substance that dissolves a liquid soluble or insoluble?
Soluble.
Does ice melt or table salt melt ice faster?
The effect of salt (any soluble material will work) is to lower the freezing point of the water, making it melt faster at a given temperature (or melt at all, if the temperature is slightly below the normal freezing point).
