How does fresh water freezes faster than salt water?

When water has a substance dissolved in it, it freezes at a lower temperature. Salt water has salt dissolved in the water, so it freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water.


What is a substance that boils at 100 degree and freezes at 0 degrees?

Water


What freezes faster water or sweet tea?

water freezes faster than tea because unlike tea, it has no additives or chemical compounds in it. Therefor, there are no "barriers" in the freezing process of water and therefor, it freezes faster than tea.


WHY containers effect the way water freezes?

One of the characteristics of a liquid is that unlike a solid it takes the shape of its container, but unlike a gas it doesn't try to fill the entire container. So after water freezes it has (close to) the shape it had when it was a liquid, the shape of its container. Actually water's a bad example because unlike most substances water expands as it freezes due to crystallization, so it often affects the shape of its container.


What substance freezes at a temperature of 15 degrees c?

A suitable mixture of salt water.


Why does a can of soda expand in the freezer?

There is water in soda. Water is unique because unlike most substances, it expands when it freezes instead of condensing.


What is the freezing point in degrees of Celsius of water?

0º is the freezing point of water in Celsius.Zero. (that's how you calibrate your thermometer)


Is metal melting an example of a different substance being formed?

No. The same would be when water melts or freezes. It is still water.


The temperature at which a substance freezes is also its what?

The answer is that the temperature a substance freezes is also its melting point. Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius into ice and if you heat ice up to 0 degrees Celsius it MELTS to give you water. Evaporation is the change from liquid to gas and condensation is the change from gas to liquid (for water this happens at 100 degrees Celsius).


How is water different from most liquids?

Water is different from other liquids because, unlike any other liquid in the world, water can exist in all three states of matter; water vapor, water, and Ice.Water is different from most substances in that when it freezes, it takes up more volume than when it is a liquid.


Why does water expand by 10 percent when it freezes?

Its very unusual for a substance to expand when it freezes, water is just odd that way. Its just a property of water, its moleucles expand in the area they take up and take up more space.
