A common misconception. Salt lowers the FREEZING POINT of water, not the temperature. Normally water turns to ice at 0 Celsius / 32 Fahrenheit, but with salt added, that might drop to -5 C or 23 F, meaning that water at that temperature will run off as liquid, rather than having to be plowed, as ice/snow.
In Ye Olde Days of summer, salt was an essential component of the hand cranked Ice Cream Bucket because it allowed the supercooled water to effectively circulate around the milk-filled cylinder. Chunky ice would not have cooled it nearly so fast, condemning the poor kid to a lot more cranking before he could taste his sweet dish.

∙ 13y agoIt takes energy for the salt crystals to break apart into tiny particles small enough to dissolve in the water. This needed energy is obtained by removing heat from the water which causes the water to be colder.

∙ 6y agoSalt doesn't affect the temp of water. Salt affects the freezing point and boiling point of water. When you add salt to water you no longer have pure water so the boiling point and freezing point will not be the same as pure water

∙ 9y agoSalt doesn't lower the temperature of water. Rather, salt water has a lower freezing point than normal water, which can cause it to be colder while remaining in a liquid state.

How does adding salt to water affect the temperature?
It does not affect the temperature of the water, but solutes raise the boiling point and lower the freezing point.
Does temperature affect the pH levels in salt water the ocean?
Yes
How does temperature affect how quickly salt dissolves in water?
the hotter the water or whatever liquid you use, the faster the salt dissolves
What is the temperature if you put salt in water?
Adding salt does not effect the temperature.Answer:Adding salt does not change the temperature at the time you add the salt, but it raises the temperature at which the water will boil
Does temperature affect the growth of sugar or salt crystals?
I think the temperature affect salt crytals
How does adding salt to water affect the temperature?
It does not affect the temperature of the water, but solutes raise the boiling point and lower the freezing point.
Does temperature affect the amount of salt that dissolves in water?
Yes.
What can affect ocean waters density?
The temperature of the water and the salt content of the water.
Does temperature affect the pH levels in salt water the ocean?
Yes
Is water temperature could affect the reaction of table salt?
Yes.
How does temperature affect how quickly salt dissolves in water?
the hotter the water or whatever liquid you use, the faster the salt dissolves
Does the temperature affect the speed at whih the salt dissolves in water and why?
yes, because salt is polar molecule
Does salt affest the freezing point of water and why?
The addition of salt to water will affect the freezing point as it the freezing point temperature is lowered. It's not the salt that lowers the temperature but it's because a new solution that was created.
What affect does salt have on the boiling temperature of water?
it has an effect on waters matter making the temperture of the water to be contained
How do the solutes affect the frezzing pointand boiling points?
Salt water freezes at a lower temperature and boils at a higher temperature.
Did salt and sugar affect the boiling temperature of water exactly the same?
yes, but i couldn't tell you the mechanics of it.
What are three factors that affect the speed of sound in water?
depth, current, temperature, consistency (salt or fresh)
