Why The freezing point of salty water is less than that of pure water?

Depression in freezing point is a colligative property of solutions. When salt(solute) is added to the water(solvent), the vapor pressure of the water decreases. As a result, the freezing point of the water is lowered and hence salt water takes longer to freeze than pure water.

Why does sea water freeze at a different temperature than fresh water?
salt water freezes slower than fresh water because the salt lowers the freezing point from 0 degress celsius to about -21 degress celsius. some other sources howerver say that the freezing point of salt water is -6 degrees celsius Hello world!! how are you?
What evidence do we have that the solid form of water is less dense than the liquid form of water at its freezing melting point?
Very simple: measuring the density; also ice float on water.
Which type of water is more dense cold salty water or warm less salty water?
Water is more dense the colder it becomes. It is also more dense the saltier it becomes.
What other substances have anomalous expansion?
Besides water, bismuth, silicon, gallium, antimony and germanium also form solids that are less dense than the liquid at the freezing point. All of these substances are less dense because the lattice structure of the solid is less dense than the random spacing present in the liquid at the freezing point.
Why does saltwater dehydrate you rather than regular water?
it's due to something called osmosis. If you have salty water on one side of a permeable membrane and less salty water on the other - then nature will try to balance this out by moving water through the barries to dilute the salty water.
Is salty water more or less dense than less salty water?
less
Does sugar the time it takes water to freeze?
The freezing point of solution is always less than that of the freezing point of the pure solvent. The freezing point of pure water is 0 (zero) degree celsius. The freezing point of the water decreases with the increase in the sugar concentration. for ex. a 10 grams of sugar when dissolved in 100 grams of water, the freezing point depression of -0.56 degree Celsius A 10 molal sucrose will bring about the depression in freezing point of water to about -20 degree celsius
Does sugar water affect the time it takes to freeze?
The freezing point of solution is always less than that of the freezing point of the pure solvent. The freezing point of pure water is 0 (zero) degree celsius. The freezing point of the water decreases with the increase in the sugar concentration. for ex. a 10 grams of sugar when dissolved in 100 grams of water, the freezing point depression of -0.56 degree Celsius A 10 molal sucrose will bring about the depression in freezing point of water to about -20 degree celsius
What happened to the density of water near freezing point?
i get less they when i did you mum
Will salty water produce more or less water in a solar still- why?
Will salty water produce more or less water in a solar still- why?
What type of water is more dense cold salty water or warm less salty water?
Cold salty water will be the most dense.
Why do we salt roads?
Salt will reduce the freezing point of water to below 32ºF, thus making it less likely to have slippery roads when temperatures are near the freezing point. This happens because of the colligative property of freezing point depression.
What type of water is more dense cold salty water warm or less salty?
Cold salty water will be the most dense.
What type of water is more dense cold salty or warm less salty water?
Cold salty water will be the most dense.
Is the freezing point of water in Fahrenheit greater than or less than the freezing point of water in Celsius?
The freezing temperature of water doesn't change. It just has different names. If you're speaking in Celsius, it's called zero. If you're speaking in Fahrenheit, it's called 32 degrees.
What happens when you add very salty water to less salty water?
nothing it just gets saltier
Why does sea water freeze at a different temperature than fresh water?
