Any substance dissolved in water will "lower" the freezing point by reducing the rate at which ice crystals can form. Pure water will freeze if cooled below 32°F (0°C), but sugar water and salt water will take longer to freeze because it is harder for ice to form.

Does salt water or plain water freeze faster?

Pure water freeze faster.


How long do it take salt water or water to freeze and which one freeze quicker?

Salt water takes longer to freeze than plain water because the salt lowers the freezing point of the water. The time it takes for either to freeze depends on the temperature of the environment and the concentration of salt in the water. Generally, plain water will freeze faster than salt water in the same conditions.


What freezes faster saltwater or plainwater?

Plain water because the salt in the other water lowers the freezing point. All molecules must line up in order to freeze, therefore if adding salt, the Na and CL must line up with the water molecules in order to freeze. With plain water, the molecules line up faster and thus freeze faster.


What freeze faster salt or water?

Water will freeze faster than salt water.


What boils faster salt water or plain water?

For salt water to boil faster than plain water, the salt concentration would have to be fairly high. In addition, the salt water would need to be a salt water solution before putting the pot on to heat because of the density of the water content itself.


Does salt water freeze faster than sugar water?

no salt water does not freeze faster than sugar.


What evaporates faster water with salt or plain water?

Which will freeze fastest water or salt water?

Why did salt water freeze faster than regular water?

Salt water does not freeze faster than regular water... When salt is put in water, it stops the water from freezing, and it needs to be colder than usual.
