What causes the ice to melt when you put salt on the road?

because water with a solute has a lower freezing point than pure water. the freezing temp of water is 0 C but salt water is about -1.8 C it lowers with the amount of salt added to the road.


What has the lowest freezing point salt water sugar water plain water?

Saturated salt water freezes at a lower temp than saturated sugar water, which freezes at a lower temp than plain water. So plain water will freeze first then sugar water then salt water. Thank you QUIRKIE @ answerbag.com


What happens when you put two trays of salt water and pure water into the freezer?

The pure water will freeze first since it has a lower freezing point than salt water. The salt in the salt water reduces its freezing point, so it will take longer to freeze compared to the pure water.


Does freezing lower the temp?

That's the definition of freezing. It means to lower the temperature of whatever is being frozen below the freezing point (32C for water).


What causes a lower freezing point?

Salt.


How do you lower the freezing point into water?

Add salt.

If you add salt to water does it make freezing temperature higher or lower?

lower


What is the effect of salt in boiling and freezing temperatures?

The freezing point is lower and the boiling point is higher.


Does salt water freeze at a higher or lower freezing point than freshwater?

Salt water freezes at a lower freezing point than freshwater. This is due to the presence of dissolved salt particles in the water, which disrupt the formation of ice crystals and therefore require lower temperatures to freeze.


How is it that salt can be used to melt ice but to freeze the ice cream mix?

Salt lowers the freezing point of ice so when the temp. outside is lower then 32 degrees, the ice will still melt. When making ice cream, when the temp. is lowered, the energy given off is transfered to the ice cream making it freeze.


What substance in rock salt that melts ice?

Sodium chloride, which is just the chemical name of table salt. It lowers the freezing temp of water.
