Fresh water freezes at 32°f (0°c) at sea level.
Sea water freezes at 28.4°f (-2°c) at sea level.
Salt water depends on the concentration of salt. At maximum saturation salt water (23.3% by weight) freezes at -5.98°f (-21.1°c).

∙ 6y agoYes the presence of salt in water will lower the temperature at which the water will freeze.

Which type of water freezes first fresh or salt water?
Fresh water freezes at a higher temperature than Salt water. So Fresh Water doesn't have to lose as much heat in a given amount of time in order to Freeze.

What should you do if you inhaled ammonia and bleach?
open all windows and doors go outside get fresh air even if it is winter drink plenty of cold water do not lie down or sit remain standing and get plent of air fresh air
Why does fresh water melt faster than salt water?
Because of the salt in the water. You see, salt heightens the boiling point of water yet lowers the freezing point of water. So, naturally, something that takes longer to freeze would take longer to warm up, hence the fact that it takes longer to melt. Salt is a pretty amazing chemical/food. Hope this helps!
How does carbon dioxide react with fresh water as compared to salt water?
it does not react in fresh water
Where does most fresh water on earth remain?
Frozen in the icecaps (in the form of ice at the poles).
Frozen salt water melt faster then frozen fresh water?
Salt lowers the melting or freezing point of water. The effect is termed 'freezing point depression'. Therefore frozen salt water melts faster and remain melted for long.
What portion of the fresh water is frozen into ice?
Only 2 percent of fresh water is frozen in glaciers.
How much of earths water is fresh?
3% though 2% of that 3% is frozen -------------------------------------- 1% fresh 2%frozen 97% salt
What percent of the earths fresh water is frozen poles?
Only about 1.7% of the world's total water is trapped in glaciers and ice caps, but about 68.7% of fresh water on Earth is frozen in them.
How can icebergs be used as fresh water?
salt water freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water so the fresh water gets frozen and not the salt water
Why does freezing ocean water create fresh water?
Evaporates as the water is frozen.
Do goldfish live longer in salt water of fresh water?
fresh water
Will fresh water be completely frozen before salt water?
yes
Why is the arctic ice cap not considered a glacier?
Because it is frozen sea water. A glacier is frozen fresh water.
What is one form of frozen water in the South Pole?
The frozen water at the South Pole is fresh water ice.
How is fresh water scarce in Antarctica?
There is no fresh water in Antarctica. All the water on the continent is frozen. When heat is applied to it, it becomes fresh, potable water.
