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.

Which water freezes faster salt water or sugar water?

Sugar water freezes faster than salt water. However, regular tap water will freeze faster than either salt, or sugar water.


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 water freezes the fastest salt or sugar water?

Sugar water will freeze faster. Salt lowers the temperature at which water freezes. That is why they put salt on the roads and on sidewalks in snowy areas. Sugar in water should have little to no affect on the rate of freezing.


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?


Does saltwater or sugar water freeze faster?

Saltwater freezes slower than sugar water because the salt in saltwater lowers the freezing point of the water, requiring it to be at a colder temperature to freeze. Sugar does not have the same effect on the freezing point of water.


What freezes faster fresh water light salt water or heavy salt water?

I think it is fresh water freezes faster because the salt melts ice.


Which freezes fastest salt water or sugar water?

Sugar water


Why does water freezes faster then salt water?

What freezes faster sugar water or salt water or water?

Assuming you had equal amounts of each, the pure water would freeze first...Adding sugar or salt to water lowers its freezing point, meaning that more energy would be required to be removed from salt water and sugar water to freeze it


Which liquid freezes faster fresh water salt water or dirt water?
