Yes, salt does lower the freezing point water. This happens because some of the water is displaced by the salt thus decreasing the number of molecules able to be easily frozen.

What is the relationship between the freezing point of salt water and distilled water?
The freezing point of salt water is lower than the freezing point of distilled water.
Does salt affect the temperature of water -boiling point - freezing point?
i would opt for the Freezing point. salt decreases the freezing point of water. so if water would normally freeze at 0C, saltwater would freeze at -3C.
What does salt have to do with the freezing point of water?
Adding salt to water the freezing point decrease.
What is the independent variable in this experiment does adding salt to water lower its freezing point?
salt. added by new author: As the amount of salt in the water iw increased the freezing point of water is decreased i.e. lowered. This is a negative correlation.
Why is the freezing point for ocean water lower than fresh water?
Because ocean water contains 3.5 % salt.
How do you lower the freezing point into water?
Add salt.
Does salt water freeze at a higher or lower freezing point than freshwater?
Salt water freezes at a lower temperature because the high salt content in the water lowers the freezing point but not by a lot.
Why does saltwater have a lower freezing point than fresh water?
the salt molecules interfere with the intermolecular forces and hydrogen bonds of the water molecules.
Why does saltwater take longer to freeze?
The freezing point of a solution is lower than the freezing point of the solvent; for this phenomenon a theory exist and an also a formula to calculate the decrease of the freezing point. See the link below.
What is spread on icy sidewalks to lower the freezing point of the water?
Salt
What is the relationship between the freezing point of salt water and distilled water?
The freezing point of salt water is lower than the freezing point of distilled water.
Is the freezing point of a mixture of water and salt higher lower or the same of pure water or none?
lower
What is the effect of the salt by usingthe concept of melting point?
Salt water has a lower freezing point and a higher boiling point.
How doe salt melt ice?
When any mineral is added to water, its freezing point is lowered. The higher the concentration of the mineral, the more the freezing point is lowered.Salt water has a lower freezing point that plain water. Adding salt to ice will lower the freezing point of the ice and effectively melt the ice, at least down to a certain temperature. Notes seem to indicate that the minimum temperature for a saltwater solution is -21.1°C, below which adding salt to the ice would be ineffective.It lowers the freezing point. Salt water has a lower freezing point than fresh water.
If you add salt to water does it make the freezing temperature higher or lower?
It make the boiling point higher, and the freezing point lower.
How does the amount of salt in a solution affect its freezing point?
Increasing the concentration of sodium chloride in water the freezing point is lower.
What two factors affect ocean salinity?
Freezing point (more salt the lower the freezing point). Density (more salt, the heavier the water).
