Salt doesn't make water freeze faster or slower.
Actually, it is not a question of faster or slower, but of the freezing point, or the temperature at which the water freezes. Salt added to water decreases the freezing point. So, on a day when the temperature reaches 32 degrees Fahrenheit, water with salt in it will simply not freeze (this is why fast or slow has nothing to do with it). The more salt, the lower the temperature must go in order for the water to freeze. This is true until the water reaches its saturation point (holds as much as salt as it can in solution), then adding more salt will not make a difference.
What else can I help you with?
Which water will freeze faster cold water or hot water with salt?
Hot water with salt will freeze faster than cold water because the salt lowers the freezing point of water. This means that the hot water with salt will need to cool to a lower temperature before it can freeze, making the freezing process faster compared to cold water.
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.
Does salt water or fresh water melt faster?
Salt water melts faster than fresh water because salt lowers the freezing point of water. This means that salt water needs to be even colder than fresh water to freeze, leading to a faster melting rate when exposed to warmer temperatures.
Why does salt dissolve differently in cold water then it does boiling water?
Salt dissolves faster and more easily in hot water compared to cold water because the increased temperature in hot water provides energy that helps break down the bonds holding the salt molecules together. In cold water, there is less energy available to overcome these bonds, resulting in a slower dissolution process.
Which water will freeze faster salt water or fresh water?
Fresh water will freeze faster than salt water, and at a higher temperature too. Why?Salt water is called salt water due to its containing dissolved salts -- usually Sodium Chloride (NaCl), but any other salts will do. When water freezes, the molecules link up into a crystal structure (ice). The atoms of any dissolved salts will interfere with the formation of the crystal, meaning more energy will have to be taken out (the temperature will have to drop lower) before salt water freezes.
Which water will freeze faster cold water with salt or normal water with salt?
normal water with salt
Does salt water freeze faster than sugar water?
no salt water does not freeze faster than sugar.
Does hot cold or salt water freeze faster?
Cold water, being the closest to freezing point, will obviously freeze the fastest. Hot water will freeze the second fastest, and salt water barely ever freezes, except in very cold conditions.
What freeze faster salt or water?
'Faster' is NOT the correct word. Pure water freezes at a higher temperature , than salt water, BUT no FASTER.
Does salt water or plain water freeze faster?
Pure water freeze faster.
Which water will freeze faster cold water or hot water with salt?
Hot water with salt will freeze faster than cold water because the salt lowers the freezing point of water. This means that the hot water with salt will need to cool to a lower temperature before it can freeze, making the freezing process faster compared to cold water.
What freeze faster salt water or sugar water?
Salt water will.
Which freeze faster stronger salt water or weak salt water?
weak salt water
Witch freeze faster cold water or hot water?
I believe hot water freezes faster because it is supercooled. Cold water is non-supercooled. When cold water freezes ice crystals form and float to the top, forming a layer of ice over the top of the water, so the layer of ice stops evaporation . While the hot water, which is probably no longer hot in the freezer,when it does freeze, it freezes throughout, creating more or less of a slush before freezing solid.
Why did salt water freeze faster than regular water?
Salt water does not freeze faster than regular water... When salt is put in water, it stops the water from freezing, and it needs to be colder than usual.
What will melt ice faster salt or water?
Salt because water especially hot water will make it freeze faster.
How does salt water freeze faster than tap water?
It doesn't. Tap water freezes faster than salt water.
