Salt lowers the freezing point of water through a process called freezing point depression. When salt is added to ice, it disrupts the balance between the solid and liquid states of water, causing the ice to melt slightly. This melting requires energy, which is taken from the surroundings, leading to a decrease in temperature and a longer freezing time for the remaining ice.

What makes ice freeze longer sugar salt or vinegar?

Salt and sugar can both help ice melt faster by lowering the freezing point of water. Vinegar, on the other hand, can lower the freezing point even more than salt or sugar, potentially making ice freeze longer when added to water.


Why salted ice stays longer?

Salted ice does not stay longer. Salted ice melts sooner than ice alone because the mixture of salt and water lowers the freezing point of water. So the salt-ice mixture will melt at temperatures where pure ice would freeze. The only way that a salt-ice mixture would stay longer is if the temperature is so low that it has reached the freezing point of the salt-ice mixture.


Can you separate salt from water if you freeze it?

it is not possible to seperate salt from the ice....bcoz...it is mixed up with water and if we make ithe ice into powder we can't seperate the salt from it...


What will melt ice faster salt or water?

Salt because water especially hot water will make it freeze faster.


Why does pure water take longer to cool than salty water?

Salt, if you put it on ice, melts the ice. So that probably what is causing it not to freeze as fast.


Why can't salt water freeze?

beacause salt melts ice.


How can I make ice cream using salt?

You can make ice cream using salt by creating a salt and ice mixture in a container, placing a smaller container with the ice cream ingredients inside the salt and ice mixture, and then shaking or stirring the mixture until the ice cream forms. The salt lowers the freezing point of the ice, allowing the mixture to become cold enough to freeze the ice cream ingredients.


Why is salt added to ice cream?

Why would you? I mean it's so disgusting! Only a weirdo would do that! It probably taste bitter and not so sweet. My advise DON'T DO IT!! :( A pinch of salt in anything sweet makes it taste better. You don't taste the salt. But in the case of ice cream, salt is sprinkled over the ice in an old fashion ice cream freezer to make the ice colder and make the ice cream freeze faster. I can't explain how salt makes the ice colder but it does.


How can I make ice cream using rock salt?

To make ice cream using rock salt, you can create a salt and ice mixture in a larger container, place a smaller container with the ice cream mixture inside the larger container, and then shake or stir the mixture until the ice cream forms. The rock salt lowers the freezing point of the ice, allowing the ice cream to freeze.


Why is salt needed for ice cream in an ice cream maker?

because salt makes the ice colder allowing the ice cream to freeze faster!


What do you make when you freeze water?

When you freeze water, you create ice.


Is salt water colder then ice?

well for something to freeze it has to be 0 degrees or lower which is what ice is, frozen water. so the water has to be 1 degree or more to NOT freeze so the ice is colder than salt watercoz salt water is not frozen... does t6hat make sense? Actually, salt water CAN be colder than ice because the salt lowers the freezing point of the water.
