Salt water actually does not freeze faster than distilled water. The dissolved salt molecules disrupt the crystal lattice structure of the ice, resulting in a requirement for a lower temperature before the water molecules can crystallize into ice.

∙ 14y agoIt is related to their molecular structure.
When substances freeze, the molecules loose their energy and they will be placed more closer together. I believe the temperature shall go so low that the attractive physical forces dominate the repulsive ones. Then the material starts to freeze.
We have different oils with different freezing temperature range (+10 to -55 Deg C). For Water I can say, the hydrogen bonding is pretty strong and can cause it to freeze earlier.
For hydrocarbons, it takes more time (especially for oils) because they are more bigger molecules with more complex attractive/repulsive forces.

∙ 14y agomost of the oils freez at a temperature higher than zero cellcius so their melting points are closer to room temperature so they require less amount of heat for melting as compare to ice and latent heat of fussion of oils is very much lower than ice....
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoSalt has a component that, mostly does the opposite of what temperature it is in and oil is thicker with less movement and has little or no energy to fight the cold and freezes.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoIt's because water is A polar compound while oil is A nonpolar compound.Ice - which actually is frozen water - dissolves easier in it's common polar compound than in nonpolar compound.

Which cube melts faster a frozen juice cube or a frozen water cube?
In most cases an equal volume of juice will melt faster than an equal volume of ice
Which melts faster salt water or non salty water?
Salt water freezes at a lower temperature, which is why salt is used to melt road ice. In an environment where the temperature is slowly getting warmer as to melt the ice, frozen salt water will melt quicker than ice.
What will melt faster frozen milk or frozen water?
In general, water with stuff dissolved in it has a lower freezing temperature than pure water. Milk is just water with stuff (fats, sugars, proteins) dissolved in it so it's freezing temperature should be lower than 0 degrees Celsius (the freezing temperature of water).Therefore, if you started with both frozen milk and frozen water at say -10 degrees Celsius and started slowly heating them both, the frozen milk will start thawing (melting) before the frozen water.
What melt faster water coke or sprite?
Coke and sprite have higher melting points than water.
Will lemonade water or sprite melt the fastest?
Personal observation lemonade will melt faster because of very few ingredients in it than sprite .
Does ice cream melt faster than frozen yogurt?
yes ice cream does melt faster than frozen yogurt because it has ice and cream in it that makes it melt faster and frozen yogurt has yogurt in it which makes it thicker and since its frozen it makes it even more thicker so ice cream does melt faster than frozen yogurt.thats why ice cream is faster melt than yogurt.
Which cube melts faster a frozen juice cube or a frozen water cube?
In most cases an equal volume of juice will melt faster than an equal volume of ice
Why does frozen grape juice melt faster than frozen water?
This is because the grape juice is dark so it absorbs heat which makes it melt faster.
Why does ice melt faster in air than in water?
the water may be a warmer temperature than the air. why does ice melt faster in water than in air
Do water melt faster than air?
air does not melt.
Which melts faster salt water or non salty water?
Salt water freezes at a lower temperature, which is why salt is used to melt road ice. In an environment where the temperature is slowly getting warmer as to melt the ice, frozen salt water will melt quicker than ice.
Why do ice cubes melt faster in water than in ice?
Water has a higher temperature in ice causing it to melt faster.
Does frozen food coloring in water melt faster than basic ice cubes in water?
I dont now why dont you try it. Take the frozen food coloring in the cup or an ice cube container then next to the ice cube of the frozen food coloring and put the regular ice cube next to it.Once frozen take it out and watch them melt!
Will water melt faster than pep?
yes
Does tap water melt faster than salt water?
Yes
Does chocolate melt faster in boiled water or over a fire?
The fire is hotter than the boiling water, so it will melt faster over a fire.
Does ice melt faster in air?
an ice cube melts faster in water.it depends on the temperature of the air or water, if the water is warmer than the room air temperature, it will melt faster in the water.
