This can be used as a lubricant or a coolant at a temperature below freezing of water, but above the freezing point of the liquid. Also, when ice freezes on sidewalks, salt is spread to prevent slipping on the ice.

Why is the temperature to freeze the surface of ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze the surface of water like Lake Superior?

The ocean water has a high amount of dissolved salts.


Does the temperature drop lover than 0 C for water to freeze when a solute is dissolved in the water?

Yes, is true.


Does the temperature must drop 0 C for water to freeze when a solute is dissolved in the water?

A solute added to water decreases the freezing point.


Is it true that the temperature must drop lower than 0 Celsius for water to freeze when a solute is dissolved in the water?

Yes if something is dissolved in the water then it is no longer pure water and the freezing point will change


Why is the temperature needed to freeze the ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze the surface of a freshwater lake?

Ocean water has a lower freezing point than freshwater due to the presence of dissolved salts, which lowers the freezing point of water. The salt in the ocean water disrupts the hydrogen bonds between water molecules, making it harder for the water to freeze. This is why ocean water freezes at a lower temperature than freshwater.

Does saline freeze?

Yes, saline can freeze. Saline is a solution of salt dissolved in water, and the freezing point of saline is lower than that of pure water. Therefore, saline can freeze at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius.


Which water will freeze faster salt water or fresh water?

Fresh water will freeze faster than salt water, and at a higher temperature too. Why?Salt water is called salt water due to its containing dissolved salts -- usually Sodium Chloride (NaCl), but any other salts will do. When water freezes, the molecules link up into a crystal structure (ice). The atoms of any dissolved salts will interfere with the formation of the crystal, meaning more energy will have to be taken out (the temperature will have to drop lower) before salt water freezes.
