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.

Does vinegar freeze faster than saltwater?
Hot water will freeze faster than vinegar because the hot water atoms will slow quickly and the vinegar will take longer to freeze because it contains an oil like sustance which take lionger to freeze.
Does salt water freeze at the same temperature as normal water?
no, because if you put saltwater and freshwater in the freezer saltwater will not freeze completely ,because it has salt in it and it will not freeze at the same rate as freshwater that is my answer to this question.
As the air temperature decreases which will begin to freeze first a freshwater marsh or a saltwater marsh?
A freshwater marsh
Why does it take longer for a bottle of soda to freeze outside on a winter day than it takes for a bottle of water to freeze?
because the soda has those bubbles (also called nontoxic acid which doesn't hurt you) so it takes longer because the nontoxic acids are strong (doesn't do anything to you!) so it takes longer
What takes longer ice melting or water freezing?
What takes longer to melt ice or freeze water?
Does saltwater freeze into ice?
Yes and no. When you try to freeze saltwater it will take much longer than regular water would. Also it will not freeze all the way through it will just have a layer on top.
Does vinegar freeze faster than saltwater?
Hot water will freeze faster than vinegar because the hot water atoms will slow quickly and the vinegar will take longer to freeze because it contains an oil like sustance which take lionger to freeze.
How long does it take 1 cup of saltwater to freeze?
about 4 to 6 hours
Why does saltwater freeze faster then regualar water?
because saltwater has a higher freezing point
What is the variable of adding salt to tap water?
it will take longer to freeze
Do different amounts of water freeze at the same temperature?
Yes, but the larger the amount of water, the longer it will take for it to freeze.
Can you freeze cooked meat?
Yes you can, but it will take longer to cook as the meat is frozen.
Does salt water freeze at the same temperature as normal water?
no, because if you put saltwater and freshwater in the freezer saltwater will not freeze completely ,because it has salt in it and it will not freeze at the same rate as freshwater that is my answer to this question.
WHICH ONE Will freeze first saltwater or sugarwater?
Fresh water will freeze first. This is because when water freezes the hydrogen bonds form a rigid structure (Ice). Salt and sugar molecules interfere with this formation.
How could you remove the salt from a solution of salt and water?
freeze the saltwater solution
Do water with more salt take longer to freeze?
Yes, thunk about an ocean versus a lake
Don't the shorelines of Norway freeze?
they can freeze, but rarely more than one or two centimetres because it takes more to freeze saltwater and because of boats making the sea moving and hard to freeze.
