Yes. Adding NaCl, sodium chloride, common table salt, lowers the freezing point of water by up to a few degrees. I was at a party where a couple of pounds of salt were added to an ice chest with a case of beer. The beer was room temperature, 70 degrees, and with only 10 pounds of ice, those beers were were at 32 degrees within 15 minutes. The temperature of the ice/water/salt solution was 26 degrees! I imagine it is the water that actually gets to 26 degrees after the salt melts it.
What else can I help you with?
Is the freezing point of ice cream lower or higher than the freezing point of water?
It is lower.
Why does your straw freeze in your drink when you add alcohol to it?
Alcohol has a lower freezing point than water, so when it is added to a cold drink, it can lower the overall temperature of the liquid, causing it to freeze more easily. The freezing point of the mixture becomes lower than the freezing point of water alone, resulting in the straw freezing.
What is meant by the medical term or ailment 'freezing point depression'?
Freezing point depression is not a medical term, but a term of physics. It refers to the scientific concept of when the freezing point of a liquid is lowered by adding something to it. For example: The freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celcius, but if salt is added to water, the freezing point is lower, and will still be a liquid at 0 degrees.
Does solute effect the freezing point of water?
the temperature at which the solution freezes is lowered.
What will alcohol do to the freezing point of water?
No it would lower it. This is why de-icer is often alcohol (methanol) based. Alcohol turns to a solid (freezes) at a lower temperature then pure water. Freezing point of pure methanol is -98C
Why does the freezing point of water lower when solute is added?
the solute gets in the way of the water turning to ice
Is the freezing point of ice cream lower or higher than the freezing point of water?
It is lower.
What happens to the freezing point of pure water when salt is added to it?
it lowers it. impurities lower the melting and raise the boiling point of substances. they also cause the melting point to fall over a range now. for example, water's melting point was initially 0 but upon adding salt it now is -5 to -1 degrees celsius.
Is true that the freezing point of water can be lowered with the addition of salt?
Yes, different salts will lower it by different amounts. Other things will also lower the freezing point when added to water (e.g. alcohols, ethylene glycol, sugars).
How much would the freezing point of water decreases if 4 mol of sugar were added to 1kg of water?
The normal freezing temperature for pure water is 0c. Howeverif sugar is added in the pure water, the freezing point will be lower than zero. How far below zero will depend on the sugar concentration in the water.
Does methanol lower the freezing point?
Methanol will freeze at negative 143 (Fahrenheit)/ negative 97 (Celsius). If it is added to water (freezing point of 32*F/0*C) then it will make the water freeze at a lower temperature. So yes, methanol will lower the freezing point of any liquid that freezes at a higher temperature than methanol. But methanol cannot lower the freezing point of any liquid that will still be liquid at -143*F/-97*C.
Why does your straw freeze in your drink when you add alcohol to it?
Alcohol has a lower freezing point than water, so when it is added to a cold drink, it can lower the overall temperature of the liquid, causing it to freeze more easily. The freezing point of the mixture becomes lower than the freezing point of water alone, resulting in the straw freezing.
How can antifreeze be used in a toilet to prevent freezing?
Antifreeze can be added to a toilet to prevent freezing by mixing it with water in the tank or bowl. This helps lower the freezing point of the water, preventing it from solidifying in cold temperatures.
How does the presence of salt lower the freezing point of water?
The presence of salt lowers the freezing point of water by disrupting the formation of ice crystals. When salt is added to water, it interferes with the bonding between water molecules, making it harder for them to arrange into a solid structure. This results in a lower freezing point, allowing the water to remain in a liquid state at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius.
How doe salt melt ice?
When any mineral is added to water, its freezing point is lowered. The higher the concentration of the mineral, the more the freezing point is lowered.Salt water has a lower freezing point that plain water. Adding salt to ice will lower the freezing point of the ice and effectively melt the ice, at least down to a certain temperature. Notes seem to indicate that the minimum temperature for a saltwater solution is -21.1°C, below which adding salt to the ice would be ineffective.It lowers the freezing point. Salt water has a lower freezing point than fresh water.
How much would the freezing point of water decrease if 4 mol of sugar were added to 1kg of water?
The normal freezing temperature for pure water is 0c. Howeverif sugar is added in the pure water, the freezing point will be lower than zero. How far below zero will depend on the sugar concentration in the water.
What would be the final freezing point of water be if 3 mol of sugar were added to 1 kg of water?
-5.58 C
