when salt dissolves in water it doesn't allow the water to get warm because it traps the heat within the water, therefore keepin the water cold.

...and a little thing called specific gravity comes into play....the water with specific gravity of 1 is now salt water with a different specific gravity depending on the salinity. Consider alcohol; it has no salt but does not freeze right? Beer's sg is slightly higher than water so it wont freeze til perhaps 30F.

Does Cold water keep ice cold?

The water would have to be colder than the ice to keep it cold. That is not possible unless it is brine(salt water). Then ice at 32f could be cooled by brine at say 30f.


How does salt keep wet roads from freezing in the cold weather?

The freezing point of water is lowered because by dissolution salt release heat.


Is warm salt water more dense than cold salt water?

Cold water is more dense.


Which water will freeze faster cold water with salt or normal water with salt?

normal water with salt


How does cold water affect how salt dissolves?

Cold water simply slows down the rate at which salt dissolves.


What happens to salt when it is put into cold water and stirred?

When salt is added to cold water and stirred, the salt crystals dissolve in the water. This process is known as dissolution, where the salt molecules break apart from the crystal structure and mix evenly with the water molecules. It may take longer for salt to dissolve in cold water compared to hot water due to the lower kinetic energy of the molecules.


Why does water freezes faster then salt water?

the salt prevents the water from getting cold


Will add salt to ice water help keep soda cold?

Yes, it will keep the soda cold because the salt help the ice not to melt. Don't believe me check it yourself. Get an ice cube put a little salt on it and it doest melt. Or get an ice cube put some salt on it and then get a string put on top and IT WILL STICK!!!!!!!


What is the freezing point of hot salt water?

Same as the cold salt water.


What is the materials of hot and cold water with salt?

Hot water typically consists of H2O molecules and salt. Cold water with salt is also made up of H2O molecules and dissolves the salt in its solution.


What is the densest cold salt water warm salt water cold fresh water warm fresh water?

Cold Salt Water is the densest. When there is less heat in a liquid, the particles are closer together. The salt also saturates the water and makes it even denser. That's why boats float better in Cold Salt Water than in Warm Fresh Water. P.S. Next time, put commas between the options. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sources: Grade 8 Science
