Does the amount of salt in 16 oz water affect the freezing?

Yes, the amount of salt in water affects its freezing point. Adding salt to water will lower the freezing point, making it harder for the water to freeze. This is why salt is commonly used to melt ice on roads in cold weather.


What does table salt do to water when frozen?

Table salt lowers the freezing point of water, which means that adding salt to water can prevent it from freezing at 0 degrees Celsius. This is why salt is commonly used to de-ice roads and sidewalks in snowy conditions.

What if you used water softener in your salt water pool?

Filling a plaster pool with water from a salt type softener will severely damage the plaster. Salt water softeners exchange salt for calcium and leave the water in a calcium deficiency. Seeking its dynamic balance the water will leech calcium from the plaster to satisfy its need for calcium making the plaster etched and rough. Adding salt to regular tap water is not the same as filling with soft water as the calcium is still present in the tap water. 180 ppm of calcium is considered the minimum and low calcium can be raised by adding calcium chloride.


Does adding nothing to water effect how fast water freezes?

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 can I make a salt water disinfectant at home?

To make a salt water disinfectant at home, mix 1 tablespoon of salt with 1 gallon of water. Stir until the salt is dissolved. This solution can be used to disinfect surfaces or as a mouthwash. Remember to not ingest the solution and to test it on a small area before using it on delicate surfaces.


Freezing point when salt is with a liquid?

Adding a salt to a pure substance depresses the melting point and elevates the boiling point.Adding salt to water will enable it to stay liquid at a lower temperature than 0 oC; adding salt to ice will drop its temperature (this phenomenon was used in old fashioned ice cream makers); adding salt to water will make it boil at a temperature higher than 100 oC


Can salt water is used to determine the boiling point of water?

No, salt water cannot be used to accurately determine the boiling point of ultrapure water. Salt water boils at a slightly higher temperature than pure water; salt water can be used to determine the boiling point of salt water.


Is it true that e freezing point of water can be lowered with the addition of salt?

Yes, adding salt to water lowers its freezing point. This occurs because the presence of salt disrupts the formation of ice crystals, requiring the temperature to be reduced further in order for the water to freeze.
