Because it's SALT...are you expecting it to freeze like *SNAP* that? :)
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.
not at the normal freezing temp for water. the mixture will have a lower freezing 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).
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
Salt.
Add salt.
lower
Salt water freezes at a lower temperature because the high salt content in the water lowers the freezing point but not by a lot.
higher than freezing, lower than boiling
Yes, salt does lower the freezing point water. This happens because some of the water is displaced by the salt thus decreasing the number of molecules able to be easily frozen.
The freezing point is lower and the boiling point is higher.
It make the boiling point higher, and the freezing point lower.
