Does an ice cube melt faster in saltwater or fresh water?
Salt water: because salt lowers the freezing point of water, less water will freeze onto the ice cube, while the same amount of ice will dissolve into the water. This means that overall, the salt water will thaw it quicker. we recantly did a experiment in science class where there was a bucket of salt water and a bucket of fresh water (same temperatures) and in each bucket was an ice cube the ice cube in the fresh water melted faster because in salt water there are more perservatives and has more minerals therefore it is more dense and the ice will float closer to the top while the ice cube in the fresh water floats more lower. but i could be wrong
Is ice made with salt water colder than ice made with pure water?
"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.
Would flour have the same effect on ice that salt does?
No. The reason ice melts when you put salt on it is the freezing point of salted water is much lower than the freezing point of unsalted water. If you put salt on the ice, the salt will work its way into the ice. The temperature of ice with salt on it is higher than the freezing point of salted water, so it accomplishes a phase transformation from the solid state to the liquid state. That's what a physicist would call it in her laboratory. If it happens in her driveway early some morning, she thinks "now that the ice has melted, I can drive to work without killing myself." If you put flour in water, you make pancake batter—which freezes at about the same temperature as water. So it won't melt ice at all.
How does salt efeat ice?
Salt lowers the freezing point of water, which means that when salt is added to ice, it causes the ice to melt faster. The process of the salt dissolving into the liquid water creates a brine solution with a lower freezing point than pure water, allowing the ice to melt at a lower temperature.
Why does ice melt when salt is added?
Salt decreases the freezing point of water, causing the ice to melt. This happens because the salt lowers the temperature at which the ice can exist in a solid state, leading to the ice absorbing heat from its surroundings and melting.
How can ice provide fresh water if the ice is salt water?
When ice forms in a salty body of water such as the ocean, the salt remains in the liquid portion of water underneath the ice, and the ice is pure water.
Do pieces of ice float in salt water?
I think that salty ice cube do float in water because ice bergs float it water and they're made of salty water. i think i depends on the density (Amount of salt) in the ice
Between salt sugar and sodium chloride what makes ice melt quicker?
There is no definite answer to this, as the surrounding temperature will ultimately determine when the ice will melt. Also, salt and sodium chloride are essentially the same; however, salt will more effectively lower the freezing point of water, causing water to be in its liquid state until around 29 degrees, or so.
Which melts faster salt water or non salty water?
Salt water freezes at a lower temperature, which is why salt is used to melt road ice. In an environment where the temperature is slowly getting warmer as to melt the ice, frozen salt water will melt quicker than ice.
Why do you want to drink water after a salty meal?
believe it or not salt reduces your water stores in your body. salt absorbs water in your body like salt melts Ice on the side of the street. your body craves water to replace the water absorbed from your salty meal.
Why does salt can melt a ice cube faster than pepper?
Salt can melt ice faster than pepper because salt lowers the freezing point of water through a process called freezing point depression. When salt is added to ice, it disrupts the hydrogen bonds between water molecules, causing them to break apart and reducing the temperature at which the ice can remain solid. Pepper does not have the same effect on the freezing point of water, so it does not accelerate the melting process of ice in the same way salt does.
In what kind of water do ice cubes melt faster?
Hot, salty water. If you put an ice cube into a boiling pot of salt water, it won't last long.
Why does pure water take longer to cool than salty water?
Salt, if you put it on ice, melts the ice. So that probably what is causing it not to freeze as fast.
Do fresh water ice and salt water ice melt the same?
yes
Would water freezing at the poles make the remaining water more or less salty?
When water freezes at the poles, the ice that forms is primarily freshwater, as salt is excluded from the ice crystal structure. This process increases the salinity of the surrounding seawater because the remaining liquid water has a higher concentration of salt. Therefore, as ice forms, the remaining water becomes more salty.
Do icebergs from the North or South Pole taste salty?
The surface of any iceberg will taste salty, because it floats in salt water. The interior ice, however, is frozen fresh water.
What makes ice melt fastest salt or plain water?
Salt. When salt is added to ice, it lowers the freezing point of water, causing the ice to melt faster. This is because salt disrupts the hydrogen bonding between water molecules, making it easier for the molecules to break apart and melt.
