Salt will tend to make ice melt. This is because impurities tend to lower the freezing point of a liquid. This means that while pure water freezes at 0 degrees Centigrade salty water is still liquid at the same temperature.

Which is colder frozen water or frozen salt water at melting points?

The freezing point of salted water is lower compared with the freezing point of pure water. So when melting frozen salt water is colder.


Frozen salt water melt faster then frozen fresh water?

Salt lowers the melting or freezing point of water. The effect is termed 'freezing point depression'. Therefore frozen salt water melts faster and remain melted for long.


If sea water is frozen will the salt go away?

no, the salt wont go away it will just be inside the frozen water i don't think salt freezes though.


Can you separate water from salt when frozen?

No, not from the frozen state. If a saline solution (dissolved salt in water) is gently heated, the water will evaporate, leaving salt crystals behind. If the water vapour is captured and condensed, the result is drinking water.


Does salt separate when frozen?

no


Is frozen salt water heavier than frozen water?

The density of saline water is greater than the density of pure water.


Can salt water be disalted by freezing?

No, it just turns into frozen salt water. What you should do is evaporate the water and then you'll be left with salt crystals.


Does Salt separate from sea water when frozen?

yes


Will fresh water be completely frozen before salt water?

yes


How does salt water affect the freezing point of water and help it stay frozen longer?

Salt water lowers the freezing point of water, making it harder for the water to freeze. This is because the salt disrupts the formation of ice crystals. As a result, salt water can stay frozen longer than plain water at the same temperature.


If salt water freezes does the salt freeze to?

If the salt is still in the water it will freeze inside the water so its technically frozen


What is a good hypothesis for can you separate salt from water by freezing?

A possible hypothesis could be: "If salt is mixed with water and the solution is frozen, then the salt will not separate from the water, as both salt and water will freeze together into a solid."
