Why does saltwater take longer to freeze?
The freezing point of a solution is lower than the freezing point of the solvent; for this phenomenon a theory exist and an also a formula to calculate the decrease of the freezing point. See the link below.
Does freshwater marsh freeze faster than salt water marsh?
Freshwater marshes typically freeze faster than saltwater marshes due to the lower freezing point of freshwater compared to saltwater. Saltwater marshes have a lower freezing point due to the presence of dissolved salts, which can inhibit the formation of ice.
What is the freezing points of fresh water and salt water?
The freezing point of saltwater is lower than the freezing point of freshwater upto a specific ratio of salt & water. The freezing point goes below upto -11 C, but if you increase the salt content thereafter the freezing point will increase above 0 c. The sal and water mixture is usually termed as "Brine"
Does ice melt in cold freshwater or cold saltwater?
Oh, dude, ice melts in cold freshwater because the freezing point of freshwater is 0 degrees Celsius, so when it's in contact with ice, it warms up and melts the ice. In cold saltwater, the freezing point is lower because of the salt, so the ice would actually melt slower. But hey, no need to lose sleep over it, ice is gonna do its thing regardless!
As the air temperature decreases which will begin to Freeze first a fresh water Marsh or a salt water Marsh?
A freshwater marsh will begin to freeze before a saltwater marsh as the freezing point of freshwater is higher than that of saltwater. Freshwater has a freezing point of 0°C (32°F), while the presence of salt in saltwater lowers its freezing point, typically making it around -2°C (28°F) or lower, depending on the salinity. Therefore, as air temperatures drop, freshwater marshes will freeze first.

How come you cant freeze salt water?
Salt water has a much lower freezing point than fresh water. If freshwater is saturated with salt, the freezing point is minus 21.1 degrees celcius. The chemistry is complex, but in simple terms, saltwater becomes a different substance to fresh water, they have different chemical properties.
Why does saltwater lower the freezing point from 0 degrees Celsius to 21 degrees Celsius?
Saltwater lowers the freezing point because the presence of dissolved salt disrupts the formation of ice crystals, making it harder for water molecules to align and form a solid structure. This leads to a decrease in the freezing point of the solution. The more salt in the water, the greater the disruption and the lower the freezing point.
Does freshwater marsh freeze faster than salt water marsh?
Freshwater marshes typically freeze faster than saltwater marshes due to the lower freezing point of freshwater compared to saltwater. Saltwater marshes have a lower freezing point due to the presence of dissolved salts, which can inhibit the formation of ice.

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.
How doe salt melt ice?
When any mineral is added to water, its freezing point is lowered. The higher the concentration of the mineral, the more the freezing point is lowered.Salt water has a lower freezing point that plain water. Adding salt to ice will lower the freezing point of the ice and effectively melt the ice, at least down to a certain temperature. Notes seem to indicate that the minimum temperature for a saltwater solution is -21.1°C, below which adding salt to the ice would be ineffective.It lowers the freezing point. Salt water has a lower freezing point than fresh water.

What is the temperature of salt frozen water?
Saltwater has a much lower freezing point (the freezing point is the temperature where something freezes) than freshwater does. And the more salt there is in it, the lower the freezing point gets. So in order to know the exact temperature that it's going to freeze, you have to know just how salty it is. For saltwater that's as saturated as it can possibly get (i.e. there's no way to dissolve any more salt in it no matter how hard you tried), the freezing point is -21.1 degrees Celsius. This is when the saltwater is 23.3% salt (by weight)
What is the freezing point of ice cold saltwater?
The freezing point is 0 degree celcius
Why does pond water freeze easier than salt water?
Saltwater has a much lower freezing point (the freezing point is the temperature where something freezes) than fresh water does. The more salt there is in water, the lower is the freezing point.
