What chemical property does rock salt have that causes the lowering of the freezing point in solutions of ice and salt?
All substances have a quantity known as their "cryoscopic constant". This quantity determines the amount their freezing point is lowered by having things dissolved in them. Water's is fairly large, and rock salt is fairly soluble in water. These two properties combine to lower water's freezing point significantly when rock salt is added.
So, the property rock salt has that lowers the freezing point is its solubility.
What else can I help you with?
Is freezing point chemical property?
yes it is.
Is freezing point a physical property a physical change a chemical property or a chemical change?
I believe it is physical because you are not changing the chemical compound.

Is freezing chemical or physical property?
I would say that freezing point is a boiling property because there is no scientific evidence to suggest that it is or indeed ever will be a chemical property. Freezing point is a chemical reaction. Therefor this is a debatable question. Different people may have different views. This is mine."Freezing point" is usually termed as "melting point" in scientific circles. Melting point is defined as the temperature at which the solid and liquid phase of a substance coexist at equilibrium under the pressure of their own vapors. Ice and water coexist at equilibrium at temperature of 32 degrees F when only their own vapor pressures are acting upon them. However, the temperature difference at atmospheric pressure is negligible. As you can see, melting point (freezing point) only depends on the physical conditions acting on the substance, therefore, melting point (freezing point) is a physical property. Melting point is effected (lowered) by the addition of other molecules or ions to the substance. This effect is physical because it depends only upon the number of particles (molecules etc) added and no chemical reaction is required.

yes it is.
Is freezing point physical property a physical change a chemical property or a chemical change?
The freezing point is a physical property because it describes a characteristic of a substance (temperature at which it freezes) without changing the chemical composition of the substance. When a substance freezes, it undergoes a physical change from a liquid to a solid, not a chemical change.

Why is freezing a physical property?
Freezing is a physical change because the substance that freezes does not change its chemical composition.
Is freezing h2o physical or chemical property?
physical, ice is still H2O
What is property of solution?
Some properties of solutions are: viscosity, density, refractive index, color, pH, freezing point, etc.
What is a chemical property hardness ability to react with oxygen color or freezing point?
Hardness is a physical property that describes the ability of a substance to resist deformation. Ability to react with oxygen is a chemical property that describes how a substance interacts with oxygen. Color is a physical property that describes the visual appearance of a substance. Freezing point is a physical property that indicates the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a solid.
Is a boiling point a chemical property of a sustance?
No, boiling points and freezing points are physical properties.
