fresh water freezes at a higher temperature so should freeze before salt water. This is because when you dissolve substances in water you get freezing point depression this is where they need colder temperature to freeze. So this is why things like jam, vodka won't freeze in most home freezers even though they contain alot of water they also have alot of dissolved substances. Also why salt is spread on roads to melt the ice.

Do they have a report on what freezes faster water or sugar water?

Pure water freezes faster, although as anti-freeze goes, sugar is not one of the more potent. Try salt instead.


Which one frezzes between tap water salt water or sugar water?

tap water i think. because it freezes faster than salt water, so why not sugar water?


How long do it take salt water or water to freeze and which one freeze quicker?

It is NOT a case of 'longer' or 'quicker'. Salt water freezes at a LOWER temperature than pure de-ionised (distilled) water. The freezing point of pure de-ionised (distilled) water. is 0 oC salt water is ' -6 0C '. How long or quick it takes to go from 0 oC to -6 oC is a matter of time and the ambient temperature. NB There is a whole lot of physical chemistry devoted to the depression of freezing points Cryoscopic Constants. Conversely there is a whole lot of physical chemistry devoted to the elevation of boiling points Ebullioscopic Constants. pure water boils at 100 0C salt water boils at 102 oC (depending on conc'n of salt). The above temperatures refer only to water at standard temperature and pressure (STP).


Which ice cube will melt faster one made of salt and water another made of sugar and water or one made from just water?

The ice cube made of salt and water will melt faster than the one made of sugar and water, which in turn will melt faster than the one made from just water. Salt and sugar lower the freezing point of water, which causes the ice to melt faster.


Which liquid freezes the fastest water soda juice or milk?

water, because there is only one ingredient


Which freezes first hot cold or salt water?

Salt water freezes before plain water because the presence of salt lowers the freezing point of the water. Cold water will freeze faster than hot water because the molecules in the cold water have less kinetic energy and are more likely to form solid ice structures.


Why water converts into ice in seconds using salt and fired straw?

Plain water freezes at 32 degrees F and salt water freezes at 35.42 degrees F so salt water will freeze faster. In the experiment a drinking straw is inserted into the water after one end of the straw is burned (fired) to seal it off. The straw acts as a hydrometer, which measures the density of water. It is said that after the straw is removed ice crystals form. This has been found not to be true.


Which freezes faster hot water or cold water?

Cold water will freeze faster. Because the freezing point of water is 0oC, water that is closer to that point will freeze faster then hot water. This is because it will require less time to lower the temperature to the freezing point.


Which freeze the slowest a sea water or a fresh water?

salt water freezes slowest this is due to one of the coligative property of solution i.e. dipression in freezing point.


What are the materials needed for the experiment of water with salt affecting evaporating time?

Two graduated beakers. Water and salt. Put a known amount of plain water in one and the same amount of salt water in the second beaker. Then observe which one evaporates faster.


What is the main idea of writing a science project when the answer is which one freezes the fastest water salt water sugar or water its self?

The main idea of writing a science project to determine which solution freezes the fastest (plain water, salt water, sugar water) is to investigate the impact of different solutes on the freezing point of water. By conducting experiments and analyzing data, students can learn about the concept of freezing point depression and how solutes affect the physical properties of a solution.


What method would you use to dissolve salt in water?

You can use the method of stirring or agitating the salt in water to help it dissolve more quickly. You can also increase the temperature of the water, as higher temperatures can help salt dissolve faster. Alternatively, you can crush the salt into a finer powder to increase its surface area and facilitate faster dissolution in water.
