Will flour water or salt water melt an ice cube faster?
Salt water will melt an ice cube faster.
Why does things freeze in dry ice?
Its cold.
Does salt water freeze faster than cold?
For shear simplicity regular water freezes faster. Salt lowers the freezing point of water, to what degree depends on the chemical makeup of that particular kind of salt. For a more advanced answer we need to study the chemistry of both salt and water a bit more. Salt can contain any number of elements, (Ca-Calcium, Cl-Chloride, Na-Sodium, SO4-Sulfate... etc.) the more particles present of each element the lower the freezing point of water (H2O). When salt is added to water these elements join the chemical makeup of water and the salt basically gets in the way of the chemical interactions between H-Hydrogen and O-Oxygen. The amount of difference greatly varies depending on the amount of salt present and the chemical compound of the salt.
What happens when you mix ice and salt?
When you mix salt with ice, the ice melts. In some situations, however, the ice can become extremely cold
When you add salt to ice what happens to the melting point of the ice?
Adding salt to ice decreases its melting point. Adding salt to the top of ice helps melt the ice faster.
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.
What will melt ice faster salt or water?
Salt because water especially hot water will make it freeze faster.
Why is salt needed for ice cream in an ice cream maker?
because salt makes the ice colder allowing the ice cream to freeze faster!
How do salt and ice give you frost bite?
they freeze you because they are so cold.
Do rock salt or table salt freeze homemade ice cream faster?
No. But ice and water with table salt dissolved in it, can.The salt lowers the freezing temperature of the water, so that it can remainliquid even when it's below 32° Fahrenheit (0° Celsius). In that condition,it can be used to cool the can in which the ice cream ingredients are mixed, andcan freeze it faster than solid normal ice could.
If ice were to put ice into both salt water and fresh water then which water could come cold faster?
Yes it will melt faster because salt lowe the freezing
When filling an ice tray what's best hot or cold water?
cold water is best because it will freeze faster
Why is salt added to ice cream?
Why would you? I mean it's so disgusting! Only a weirdo would do that! It probably taste bitter and not so sweet. My advise DON'T DO IT!! :( A pinch of salt in anything sweet makes it taste better. You don't taste the salt. But in the case of ice cream, salt is sprinkled over the ice in an old fashion ice cream freezer to make the ice colder and make the ice cream freeze faster. I can't explain how salt makes the ice colder but it does.
Does baking soda dissolve faster in hot water or cold water?
It dissolves in both cold and warm.
Does a bottle of water freeze faster than a bottle of ice thawing?
Yes it does. Cold water freeze slower than normal or hot water.
Why is salt needed for ice cream?
Ice water is only 32 degrees F, and ice cream needs to be much colder to properly freeze. The salt lowers the freezing point of the water. The super cold water is what will actually freeze the ice cream. You can actually get the temp of the liquid water down to about 10 degrees F.
Why does table salt melt ice faster than sugar pepper or sand?
Actually salt does make it melt faster. And of course it lowers the melting point, hence why it melts. When you add salt to an ice cube the salt immediately begins to dissolve, the ionic bonds break to form bonds with the water. (water has strong negative and positive points on it). Because the interaction is stronger than the interaction to stay as a solid the ice releases energy as heat given off melting until it hits a cold enough temperature to freeze again.
