It depends on how you're trying to freeze them, of course: if you have a freezer that goes to 0 degrees F, like the one in the back room of a supermarket, it'll take as long to freeze the salt water as it would plain water. (Salt water has a lower freezing temperature than plain water but if you have a cold-enough freezer, it'll freeze.)

If you pour it into liquid nitrogen, it'll freeze instantly.

It also depends on the temperature of the salt water at first. Also, which type of salt, and how pure the water is.

It also depends on the concentration of salt.

How long do it take salt water or water to freeze and which one freeze quicker?

Salt water takes longer to freeze than plain water because the salt lowers the freezing point of the water. The time it takes for either to freeze depends on the temperature of the environment and the concentration of salt in the water. Generally, plain water will freeze faster than salt water in the same conditions.


How long does it take for salt water to freeze compared to water?

Salt water freezes at a lower temperature than regular water, so it will take longer for salt water to freeze compared to pure water. The exact time can vary based on the salt concentration, but generally, salt water will take longer to freeze due to its lower freezing point.


Why water freezes before salt water?

Water freezes before salt water because adding salt lowers the freezing point of water. This means that salt water needs to reach a lower temperature in order to freeze compared to pure water. As a result, pure water will freeze at a higher temperature than salt water.


Can salt water freeze completely?

Yes, salt water can freeze completely. However, the presence of salt decreases the freezing point of water, so it will freeze at a lower temperature compared to pure water. This is why salt is often used to prevent roads from freezing in colder temperatures.


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.

How much does one teaspoon from two teaspoon of salt affect the freeze point of tap water?

First of all, every teaspoon of salt will affect the freezing point exactly the same, as long as it dissolves, so the second teaspoon will affect it as much as the first. Secondly, it depends on how much water you use to dissolve the salt. The reason is that the freezing point depends on the concentration of the salt water. A very simplifed way to figure this out is to divide 0.001 by the number of cups of water you are using. This is a close estimate for how much one teaspoon of salt will decrease the freezing point. You can see that it takes a lot of salt to make a big change.


What freeze faster salt or water?

Water will freeze faster than salt water.


Why did the salt water freeze but the salt did?

Salt lowers the freezing point of water, meaning it needs to be colder for the salt water to freeze compared to pure water. The salt itself does not freeze because its freezing temperature is much lower than that of the salt water solution.


If salt water freezes does the salt freeze to?

If the salt is still in the water it will freeze inside the water so its technically frozen

Does salt water freeze faster than sugar water?

no salt water does not freeze faster than sugar.


What freeze faster salt water or sugar water?

Salt water will.


Which will freeze first-sugared water or salt water?

salt water


Will salt and water freeze?

Yes, salt water does indeed freeze. The addition of a solute (salt in this case) to a solvent (water) will always lower the solution's freezing point. This just means it needs to be colder than 32oC to freeze the salt water.


Which freeze faster stronger salt water or weak salt water?

weak salt water


Which water will freeze faster cold water with salt or normal water with salt?

normal water with salt
