The factors that affect the freezing point of water are

1. pressure : the pressure on the liquid may alter the freezing point.

2. impurities : the impurities in water such as salt, sugar etc also alters the freezing point.

Freezing not so much,

but - in order to boil the vapor pressure of the water must exceed the total gas pressure surrounding it. Thus the higher the pressure, the higher the boiling temp.

The presence of soluble impurities in water results in depression of freezing point of water. It is an example of colligative property.

Although a thermometer CAN be used its presence affects the temperature.


Does freezing temperature change at higher altitudes?

Elevation has minimal affects on the freezing point of water as it doesn't deal with gas molecules as boiling does. Elevation affects the boiling point of water because the air pressure changes with elevation.


Why does the freezing point affect the freezing of salt water?

It does not, but salt affects the freezing point. All solids are frozen. Each has a different freezing point. Ice is just the freezing point of water. But your computer keys are frozen too. Different substances freeze differently. But for your purposes, compare water to salt water. The salt in the water causes there to be more things in the water that disrupt the tight hydrogen bonds.Since freezing is tighter H-bonds, salt lowers the freezing temperature because it is harder to freeze it now since there is salt in it.


Is it true that water would never freeze at -4C?

No, pressure affects the freezing point of substances. When you increase the presure, you lower the freezing point. So if you kept water at -4C then increased the pressure enough, the water would start to freeze
