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 is the freezing point of water with a 5 percent salt solution?

The freezing point of water with a 5 percent salt solution is lower than the freezing point of pure water. The exact freezing point will depend on the type of salt used, but typically it will be around -6 degrees Celsius (21.2 degrees Fahrenheit).


What is the relationship between the freezing point of salt water and distilled water?

Salt water has a lower freezing point compared to distilled water because adding salt lowers the freezing point of water. The presence of dissolved salt molecules interferes with the water molecules' ability to form a solid lattice structure, thus requiring lower temperatures to freeze.


What has the lowest freezing point salt water sugar water plain water?

Saturated salt water freezes at a lower temp than saturated sugar water, which freezes at a lower temp than plain water. So plain water will freeze first then sugar water then salt water. Thank you QUIRKIE @ answerbag.com


How are boiling and freezing points of a sample of water affected when salt is dissolved in the water?

the freezing and boiling points rise significantly- this is why when you boil water in a saucepan, like for pasta, it is advised that you put salt in the water so that the water boils at a higher temperature, thus allowing you to heat the water to a higher temperature. hope this helps

How does salt affect the melting and freezing point of water?

Salt decreases the freezing point of water and increases the boiling point of water.


What is the freezing point of salt?

Salt, being a crystalized mineral with no water content has no freezing point.


What is the process for using a salt water freezing point calculator to determine the freezing point of a solution?

To determine the freezing point of a solution using a salt water freezing point calculator, you need to input the concentration of salt in the solution and the calculator will provide you with the freezing point of the solution.


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.


What is the procedure for does salt affect the tempute rof the heating or freezing point of water?

When salt is dissolved in water, the freezing point of water drops and the boiling point of water elevates.


Does salt affest the freezing point of water and why?

The addition of salt to water will affect the freezing point as it the freezing point temperature is lowered. It's not the salt that lowers the temperature but it's because a new solution that was created.


How does salt affect the water's melting point?

Adding salt to water the freezing point decrease.


Which has a higher freezing point a 20 percent salt solution or pure water?

Pure water has a higher freezing point than 20% salt water.


Does salt affect the temperature of water -boiling point - freezing point?

What is the freezing point of hot salt water?

Same as the cold salt water.


How does salt effect the properties of water?

Salt increases the boiling point of water and lowers its freezing point.


Why does salt effect the freezing point of water?

Salt mixes with the water raising it's freezing temperature above normal.
