Why does salt water have to reach a lower colder temperature to freeze?
Wiki User

This phenomenon is called freezing point depression. Adding a solute (salt) to a solvent (water) the vapour pressure of water decrease; a new equilibrium is obtained at a lower temperature than 0 oC.

When climbing a mountain does temperature increase or decrease?
When climbing a mountain, you will reach colder temperatures.
What is superheat for chiller?
to reach the required temperature from lower processed temperature.
Which is colder 32 c or 32 f?
-31*F when you reach the negatives, the number closer to zero is the warmer temperature
Is it possible to reach a temperature lower than absolute zero?
no
How do some metals become superconductors?
Most of the metals can be superconductors if you freeze them enough. They reach superconductivity bellow a temperature called the critical temperature (Tc). So the answer is: Freeze them below Tc. The higher the critical temperature, the better.
Why is it colder near trees?
It is colder near the trees because water from the leaves vaporizes,ÊreducingÊthe surrounding temperature. In addition, trees shades block sunlight from reach the ground.Ê
What happens to pressure and temperature as depth decreases?
Temperature increases due to the fact that the center of the earth is magma. No humans or machine could actually get close enough to it to be able to tell. This is why high mountain tops are generally colder then sea level.
Does hot water freeze more quickly than room temperature?
Hot water would take longer to reach the freezing point than room temperature so hot water would freeze slower than water at room temperature
A calorimeter uses the principle that thermal energy flows from hotter material to colder material until both reach the same?
...until both reach the same TEMPERATURE. That is, they are in THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM.
How does less water freeze faster?
There's less water, it takes less time for all if it to reach freezing temperature.
A calorimeter uses the principle that thermal energy flows from hotter material to colder material until both reach the same .?
Many principles are used. Expansion of liquids. Production of thermo emf. Variation of resistance of conductors. As temperature changes certain physical properties change as mentioned above. Such changes are used to know about the temperature.
Does ice make water colder or does water make ice warmer?
Both do their own job mutually till both reach a common temperature.
