Why would spring water freeze the fastest out of spring tap and distilled water?

Answer 1

Distilled water will evaporate more quickly. Distilled water is almost pure water, whereas tap water has many more impurities. Vapor pressure is a colligative property; that is, it only depends on the number of particles (atoms, ions, molecules, etc.) dissolved in the solution. The impurities in the tap water therefore affect vapor pressure. The vapor pressure is decreased because the impurities take up some of the surface area of the solution, so fewer water molecules are in contact with the air. Only water molecules in contact with the air can evaporate, so if fewer molecules are in contact with the air, fewer molecules will be able to evaporate. This decreases the vapor pressure so more water molecules will evaporate in distilled water than in tap water, where there is a partial barrier to evaporation.

Answer 2

Because of the impurities it contains; there are fare more 'seeds' on which ice crystals can form.

------------------------------------

1. The difference in the freezing points is quite nonimportant.

2. Also a bottled mineral water contain more impurities than a tap water from a controlled and sure source.

Answer 3

Spring water contains impurities that facilitate the formation of ice crystals. Distilled water does not.

Answer 4

Distilled Water freezes first at 0 Degrees C, the others freeze at -0.5 to -9 degrees C

Answer 5

It is more pure; but the difference is minimal, without any importance.
