Does sugar water 4 cups water to 1 cup sugar freeze?

Answer 1

It will lower the freezing point in much the same way as ice. This is a colligative property of any solute in any solvent. For further information, consult any standard physical chemistry textbook. I suggest Physical Chemistry for the Chemical and Biological Sciences by Raymond Chang.

Answer 2

the milk freezes faster, i am a witness because i did this experiment.Technically, this shouldn't be true. When sugar is added to a liquid it actually makes the liquid freeze at a lower temperature so it should take longer to freeze. If you have different results I'm not sure what really happened.

Milk does not freeze faster because sugar acts like an antifreeze and lowers the freezing point. If your milk froze faster, then it was probably colder to begin with. I bet you compared milk from the fridge (which is ~ 38 deg) to tap water (which is ~ 55 deg)?

Answer 3

Yes. The sugar may effect the temperature of the freezing point, but sugar water freezes (put a can of soda in the freezer, inside a plastic bag, and see for yourself).
