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.


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.


How does salt affect the freezing point of diet P epsi?

Salt lowers the freezing point of water, which means that adding salt to diet Pepsi would decrease its freezing point. This can prevent the diet Pepsi from freezing as quickly or at the same temperature as it would without salt.


How much does one teaspoon from two teaspoon of salt affect the freeze point of tap water?

First of all, every teaspoon of salt will affect the freezing point exactly the same, as long as it dissolves, so the second teaspoon will affect it as much as the first. Secondly, it depends on how much water you use to dissolve the salt. The reason is that the freezing point depends on the concentration of the salt water. A very simplifed way to figure this out is to divide 0.001 by the number of cups of water you are using. This is a close estimate for how much one teaspoon of salt will decrease the freezing point. You can see that it takes a lot of salt to make a big change.


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.

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 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.


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 does the addition of salt affect the freezing point of ice water?

Adding salt to ice water lowers the freezing point of the water. This is because the salt disrupts the formation of ice crystals, making it harder for the water to freeze.


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.


What two factors affect ocean salinity?

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