Adding nothing to the water should not affect the rate at which the water freezes. Adding substances, though, can noticeably depress the freezing point so that it will take longer to freeze than pure water under the same conditions. Salt is commonly used for this purpose. Adding nothing to water isn't expected to do anything to the rate at which it freezes.

How does adding salt to water affect its freezing degree and why?

Adding salt to water depresses its freezing point. Water freezes at 0 oC but adding salt to it will make the intermolecular water to water bonds more difficult to form. The salt disrupts the structure of the solid water. Therefore, water freezes at a lower temperature if it has impurities added.

Does adding salt to water effect how fast it freezes?

Does adding salt water effect how fast it freezes?In one word ,yes. Salt water or no salt water as long as the temperatures are the same in whatever container you put them in. There's a reason for this, the salt water has a different effect because it takes a longer time to freeze because it has something in the water like if the water had, a rock. It would cause the water to take time to firsthand would take a longer time due to the item the water has in it.

What freezes faster sugar water or fresh water?

Sugar water freezes faster than fresh water due to the presence of sugar molecules which disrupt the formation of ice crystals. This phenomenon is known as the Mpemba effect, where the solution with a higher concentration of solute freezes faster than the solution with a lower concentration of solute.


Does hot cold or salt water freeze faster?

Cold water, being the closest to freezing point, will obviously freeze the fastest. Hot water will freeze the second fastest, and salt water barely ever freezes, except in very cold conditions.

Does the temperature of water effect the speed it freezes?

Yes. It is a proven fact by scientist that hot water will freeze faster than cold or warm. This process is called " The Mpemba Effect ".
