No, when salt is added to water it both raises the boiling point and lowers the freezing point. Because salts break up in water, the pieces will stop water from freezing. In order to freeze, a water molecule must form more attractive forces with the molecules around it than it forms in the liquid state. The ions of a salt will get between the water molecules stop them from forming attractive forces, raising the freezing point. Salt will lower the boiling point because the ions on the surface of the water will take the place of water molecules on the surface. Since boiling happens on the surface, the fewer water molecules on the surface the higher the boiling point. The more ions the salt breaks into, the more effective this is. For example, table salt is NaCl and becomes Na+ and Cl- while road salt is CaCl2 and will break up into three ions, Ca+ and 2Cl-.
What else can I help you with?
What will freeze in less than an hour salt or tap water?
Salt water freezes at a lower temp than fresh, meaning colder. It may freeze faster when chilled enough be cause the salt would disrupt the plateo of the water so it may freeze faster.
Why did the salt water freeze but the salt did?
Salt lowers the freezing point of water, meaning it needs to be colder for the salt water to freeze compared to pure water. The salt itself does not freeze because its freezing temperature is much lower than that of the salt water solution.
If salt water freezes does the salt freeze to?
If the salt is still in the water it will freeze inside the water so its technically frozen
Does salt water or plain water freeze faster?
Pure water freeze faster.
Does 1 tablespoon of salt in water freeze slower than 3 tablespoons of salt in water?
No, adding more salt to water actually lowers the freezing point, causing the water to freeze faster. This is because the salt disrupts the formation of ice crystals, making it harder for the water to freeze.
Which will freeze fastest tap water tap salt water and tap sugared water?
Plain Tap water would freeze fastest.Adding salt or sugar to tap water will cause a depression/decrease in freezing point. Hence it will be harder to freeze the tap salt or sugar water.
What will freeze in less than an hour salt or tap water?
Salt water freezes at a lower temp than fresh, meaning colder. It may freeze faster when chilled enough be cause the salt would disrupt the plateo of the water so it may freeze faster.
What freeze faster salt or water?
Water will freeze faster than salt water.
Why did the salt water freeze but the salt did?
Salt lowers the freezing point of water, meaning it needs to be colder for the salt water to freeze compared to pure water. The salt itself does not freeze because its freezing temperature is much lower than that of the salt water solution.
If salt water freezes does the salt freeze to?
If the salt is still in the water it will freeze inside the water so its technically frozen
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.
Does salt water freeze faster than sugar water?
no salt water does not freeze faster than sugar.
What substance can be added to water to make it freeze at a lower temperature?
Salt, alcohol, ethylene glycol, to name a few.
What freeze faster salt water or sugar water?
Salt water will.
Which will freeze first-sugared water or salt water?
salt water
Will salt and water freeze?
Yes, salt water does indeed freeze. The addition of a solute (salt in this case) to a solvent (water) will always lower the solution's freezing point. This just means it needs to be colder than 32oC to freeze the salt water.
Which freeze faster stronger salt water or weak salt water?
weak salt water
