Why does salt water freeze below 0 celsius?
Salt candissolve ice, so the salt in sea water act like a antifreeze. Sea Water would probably start freezing at - 15C
How long does fresh water take to freeze?
depends on the temp. needs more information
What is the variable of adding salt to tap water?
it will take longer to freeze
What freezes faster saltwater or plainwater?
Plain water because the salt in the other water lowers the freezing point. All molecules must line up in order to freeze, therefore if adding salt, the Na and CL must line up with the water molecules in order to freeze. With plain water, the molecules line up faster and thus freeze faster.
Which freezes faster out of salt water sugar water and tap water and why?
Assuming there are equal concentrations of salt and sugar in each sample, the sugar water will freeze faster. Salt dissociates into its ions when dissolved, giving two ions for ever salt molecule. Because freezing point depression depends only on concentration, and the concentration of ions is double that of the sugar, sugar will freeze faster.
Why does salt have a lower freezing temp?
Because it's SALT...are you expecting it to freeze like *SNAP* that? :)
What sea is likely to freeze from its low concentration of salt and shallow depth?
The Baltic Sea
Why do snowmen melt with salt on it?
When mixed with water, salt (and many other minerals, for that matter) lowers the temperature required for it to freeze. The more salt, the lower the temp needs to be.
What will freeze the fastest sea salt water tap water or sugar water?
i think tap water will freeze the fastest
Why do most lakes freeze in winter but oceans do not?
A solution of salt in water has a lower freezing point than that of pure water. Presence of salt in the sea water causes a lowering of the freezing point. Lakes are mainly fresh water which will freeze at a higher temperature than sea water. Which means a fresh water lake will freeze over before the sea will because the temperature needs to be much colder to freeze sea water because of the salt dissolved in the sea water.
What will freeze in less than an hour salt or tap water?
Salt water freezes at a lower temp than fresh, meaning colder. It may freeze faster when chilled enough be cause the salt would disrupt the plateo of the water so it may freeze faster.
How is it that salt can be used to melt ice but to freeze the ice cream mix?
Salt lowers the freezing point of ice so when the temp. outside is lower then 32 degrees, the ice will still melt. When making ice cream, when the temp. is lowered, the energy given off is transfered to the ice cream making it freeze.
What happens when you put two trays of salt water and pure water into the freezer?
The pure water will freeze first since it has a lower freezing point than salt water. The salt in the salt water reduces its freezing point, so it will take longer to freeze compared to the pure water.
Why does salt freeze slower than sugar?
Salt water freezes slower than sugar because salt water has more molecules than sugar...so it drops the temp and the process of freezing
Why does salt water freeze below 0 celsius?
Salt candissolve ice, so the salt in sea water act like a antifreeze. Sea Water would probably start freezing at - 15C
Does salt decrease the melting point of water?
Yes, sea water can freeze up to - 3 0C.
Does pex tubing freeze?
