"Ice water" could either refer to water that has been chilled to the freezing temperature or just a container of water with ice floating in that is close to (but still above) that freezing temperature. Ice can be no warmer than the freezing point but can certainly be colder. If the solid (ice) is in equilibrium with the liquid ("ice water"), the ice will NOT be cooler, but as noted, if they are not really in equilibrium, you would expect the solid (ice) to be colder than the liquid water rather than the other way around.

Why is water made with salt water colder than water made with pure water?

Salt makes the water colder. Neither the question nor the answer make any sense. The question needs more context than it has. It sounds like you meant to ask something about the freezing point of water but you said 'water' not 'ice'. You don't tell us whether you started with two identical samples and added salt to one or whether two friends brought you samples of pure and salt water and you simply measured the temperature of both. One could easily make a counter-example by heating salt water and not heating pure water. The salt water will be warmer than the pure water.


Which is colder frozen water or frozen salt water at melting points?

The freezing point of salted water is lower compared with the freezing point of pure water. So when melting frozen salt water is colder.


Is a salt water a pure substances?

no, it's a mixture. Salt is a pure substance, as is water, but together they are a mixture.


Why did the salt water freeze but the salt did?

Salt lowers the freezing point of water, meaning it needs to be colder for the salt water to freeze compared to pure water. The salt itself does not freeze because its freezing temperature is much lower than that of the salt water solution.


Can salt water freeze completely?

Yes, salt water can freeze completely. However, the presence of salt decreases the freezing point of water, so it will freeze at a lower temperature compared to pure water. This is why salt is often used to prevent roads from freezing in colder temperatures.


Is salt water a pure substance and why?

no , its a mixture. salt is a pure substance, as is water, but togher they are a mixture.....


Is NaHCO3 pure salt?

It is a pure salt, as it is made from an acid and a base.


Is salt water a mixture or a pure substance?

Salt water is definitely a mixture, a mixture of water and salt. It's not a pure substance because it's conformed of two components that aren't noticeable to the naked eye, but that can be easily separated.


How much water can salt have?

Pure and dried salt has no water.


Is salt water colder then ice?

well for something to freeze it has to be 0 degrees or lower which is what ice is, frozen water. so the water has to be 1 degree or more to NOT freeze so the ice is colder than salt watercoz salt water is not frozen... does t6hat make sense? Actually, salt water CAN be colder than ice because the salt lowers the freezing point of the water.


How do you get pure water from a salt and water solution?

By evaporating the water of the solution and condensing it.


What is the diff between salt and fresh water temperature?

Since the salt makes water boil, get colder, and melt faster, salt water would be warmer in the summer and colder in the winter, but the salt would help, but not 100%, keep the water from freezing.
