Why is that ocean water freezes?
the reason salt water freezes is because of the amount of salt in the water
How does fresh water freezes faster than salt water?
When water has a substance dissolved in it, it freezes at a lower temperature. Salt water has salt dissolved in the water, so it freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water.
What freezes faster fresh water light salt water or heavy salt water?
I think it is fresh water freezes faster because the salt melts ice.
Does salt water or fresh water freezes faster?
Fresh water freezes at 32°f (0°c) at sea level. Sea water freezes at 28.4°f (-2°c) at sea level. Salt water depends on the concentration of salt. At maximum saturation salt water (23.3% by weight) freezes at -5.98°f (-21.1°c).
Does salt water expand when it freezes?
NO
What freezes faster in less than an hour salt or tap water?
Tap water would freeze faster but salt water would allow the waters freezing point to be lowered.
Why does water freezes faster then salt water?
the salt prevents the water from getting cold
Why water freezes before salt water?
because the salt is harder to freeze
Which water freezes faster salt water or sugar water?
Sugar water freezes faster than salt water. However, regular tap water will freeze faster than either salt, or sugar water.
Which liquid freezes faster fresh water salt water or dirt water?
Salt Water
What are the result of Which freezes faster salt water or fresh water?
Fresh water freezes much much quicker.
Which water freezes faster salt water or fresh water and why?
Fresh water freezes at a higher temperature than salt water. This is because the presence of impurities in water lowers its freezing point.
