the salt molecules interfere with the intermolecular forces and hydrogen bonds of the water molecules.

∙ 9y agoSaltwater does freeze. The salt in the water causes its freezing point to decrease greatly, so it must be at a colder temperature to freeze. However, it will still freeze.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoPure water has less molecules in it. The salt molecules make the freezing point in salt water lower than plain water.

∙ 11y agobecause salt bonts make high contact with water bonds therefore salt water have a lower freezing point

∙ 12y agoThe dissolution of salt in water is an exothermic process; heat is released and the freezing point is lower and proportionally depends on the concentration of salt.

Why does saltwater take longer to freeze?
The freezing point of a solution is lower than the freezing point of the solvent; for this phenomenon a theory exist and an also a formula to calculate the decrease of the freezing point. See the link below.
Why does pond water freeze easier than salt water?
Saltwater has a much lower freezing point (the freezing point is the temperature where something freezes) than fresh water does. The more salt there is in water, the lower is the freezing point.
What is the freezing points of fresh water and salt water?
The freezing point of saltwater is lower than the freezing point of freshwater upto a specific ratio of salt & water. The freezing point goes below upto -11 C, but if you increase the salt content thereafter the freezing point will increase above 0 c. The sal and water mixture is usually termed as "Brine"
Is the freezing point of ice cream lower or higher than the freezing point of water?
It is lower.
How does the boiling point of saltwater compare to the boiling point of freshwater?
The boiling point of freshwater is lower than the boiling point of saltwater.
Why does saltwater lower the freezing point from 0 degrees Celsius to 21 degrees Celsius?
It doesn't

How come you cant freeze salt water?
Salt water has a much lower freezing point than fresh water. If freshwater is saturated with salt, the freezing point is minus 21.1 degrees celcius. The chemistry is complex, but in simple terms, saltwater becomes a different substance to fresh water, they have different chemical properties.
How doe salt melt ice?
When any mineral is added to water, its freezing point is lowered. The higher the concentration of the mineral, the more the freezing point is lowered.Salt water has a lower freezing point that plain water. Adding salt to ice will lower the freezing point of the ice and effectively melt the ice, at least down to a certain temperature. Notes seem to indicate that the minimum temperature for a saltwater solution is -21.1°C, below which adding salt to the ice would be ineffective.It lowers the freezing point. Salt water has a lower freezing point than fresh water.
What is the temperature of salt frozen water?
Saltwater has a much lower freezing point (the freezing point is the temperature where something freezes) than freshwater does. And the more salt there is in it, the lower the freezing point gets. So in order to know the exact temperature that it's going to freeze, you have to know just how salty it is. For saltwater that's as saturated as it can possibly get (i.e. there's no way to dissolve any more salt in it no matter how hard you tried), the freezing point is -21.1 degrees Celsius. This is when the saltwater is 23.3% salt (by weight)
What is the freezing point of ice cold saltwater?
The freezing point is 0 degree celcius
What does the boiling of salt water compare to the boiling point of fresh water?
The boiling point of freshwater is lower than the boiling point of saltwater.
Why does pond water freeze easier than salt water?
Saltwater has a much lower freezing point (the freezing point is the temperature where something freezes) than fresh water does. The more salt there is in water, the lower is the freezing point.
Is salt water colder than fresh water?
The freezing point of salted water is lower than the freezing point of pure water; this is a phenomenon known as freezing point depression when a solute exist in the solution.
What is the freezing points of fresh water and salt water?
The freezing point of saltwater is lower than the freezing point of freshwater upto a specific ratio of salt & water. The freezing point goes below upto -11 C, but if you increase the salt content thereafter the freezing point will increase above 0 c. The sal and water mixture is usually termed as "Brine"
Why does saltwater freeze faster then regualar water?
because saltwater has a higher freezing point
Is the freezing point of ice cream lower or higher than the freezing point of water?
It is lower.
