The salt contains lots of substances which makes it a homogeneous mixture, which means that the substances are so evenly mixed you can't see the different parts in the salt. When water freezes, the substances inside the salt interact with the molecules that use energy to turn water into a solid, or ice. Try experimenting it! Hope this helps!

How does salt affect the melting and freezing point of water?

Salt decreases the freezing point of water and increases the boiling point of water.


How does the presence of dissolved sodium chloride affect the boiling and freezing point of water?

Dissolved solute (NaCl, salt) will raise the boiling point and lower the freezing point of water. This is known as a colligative property.


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.


Does sugar water affect the time it takes to freeze?

Yes, sugar water does affect the time it takes to freeze. Adding sugar to water lowers the freezing point of the solution, making it harder for water molecules to form solid ice crystals. This phenomenon is known as freezing point depression. As a result, sugar water will take longer to freeze compared to pure water at the same temperature.


Why does the freezing point affect the freezing of salt water?

It does not, but salt affects the freezing point. All solids are frozen. Each has a different freezing point. Ice is just the freezing point of water. But your computer keys are frozen too. Different substances freeze differently. But for your purposes, compare water to salt water. The salt in the water causes there to be more things in the water that disrupt the tight hydrogen bonds.Since freezing is tighter H-bonds, salt lowers the freezing temperature because it is harder to freeze it now since there is salt in it.

How does salt affect the melting and freezing point of water?

Salt decreases the freezing point of water and increases the boiling point of water.


How does adding salt to water affect the temperature?

It does not affect the temperature of the water, but solutes raise the boiling point and lower the freezing point.


What is the procedure for does salt affect the tempute rof the heating or freezing point of water?

When salt is dissolved in water, the freezing point of water drops and the boiling point of water elevates.


Does salt affect the temperature of water -boiling point - freezing point?

i would opt for the Freezing point. salt decreases the freezing point of water. so if water would normally freeze at 0C, saltwater would freeze at -3C.


How does salt affect the water's melting point?

Adding salt to water the freezing point decrease.


How does elevation in temperature affect the freezing point of water?

It doesn't.


How does the amount of salt in a solution affect its freezing point?

Increasing the concentration of sodium chloride in water the freezing point is lower.


Does salt affest the freezing point of water and why?

The addition of salt to water will affect the freezing point as it the freezing point temperature is lowered. It's not the salt that lowers the temperature but it's because a new solution that was created.


Does adding vinegar to water affect its freezing time?

Yes because it is no longer water so will have a different freezing time or point


What is the freezing point depression constant for water and how does it affect the freezing point of water?

The freezing point depression constant for water is 1.86 degrees Celsius per molal. This means that for every mole of solute added to water, the freezing point of water decreases by 1.86 degrees Celsius. The presence of solute particles disrupts the formation of ice crystals, lowering the freezing point of the solution compared to pure water.


What two factors affect ocean salinity?

Freezing point (more salt the lower the freezing point). Density (more salt, the heavier the water).


Does sugar affect the freezing point of ice of water?

Yes it does. All solutes do.
