Yes pure (distilled) water will freeze faster than tap water because any impurities lower the freezing point. Regular water has minerals dissolved in it (such as calcium phosphate, and iron) and will freeze at a very slightly lower temperature than completely pure water.

∙ 15y agoThe freezing point for pure water is 0 celsius (32 F). Anything that dissolves in water will make the water freeze at a lower temperature. What you might be noticing is the phenomenon called supercooling. If the temperature of pure water is lowered and there is no pattern for ice crystals to get together on, the water will not freeze until it is very cold...much lower than the freezing point. Impurities, like dust, sand and even scratches on the inside of the container 'remind' ice crystals how to form. It is sort of like a party...it is getting late and people want to sit down but there are no chairs.

∙ 13y agoThe polyatomic ions that have disassociated themselves congruently throughout the homogeneous solution of the saline water causes a rapid coagulation of fission. It is this coagulated fission that appears to the naked eye as ice. Once examined further with an electron microscope it becomes apparrent that salt water actually does not freeze faster than pure water at all.

∙ 14y agoas opposed to what? but usually plain water freezes slower than most things
Wiki User
∙ 12y agohaha i dunno :)
If you throw salt on an icy road it melts the ice so therefore water with salt in it would freeze a lot slower than pure water,

When does water freeze on the kelvin scale?
Pure water, at the pressure of 1 atmosphere will freeze at 273.15 K.
What temperature does pure water freeze and boil?
Pure water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and boils at 100 degrees Celsius.
Does a coin sink faster in pure water than it does in sea water?
Yes, a coin does sink slightly faster in pure water than it does in sea water. The dissolved salts in sea water make the water denser, and as a result, objects immersed in sea water will experience greater buoyancy than they do in fresh water.
Does vinegar water freeze faster than water?
According to my experiments, ice melts faster in water than in vinegar. It takes roughly twice as long to melt in vinegar than water when both the vinegar and water are at room temperature. I think the reason is vinegar is slightly more dense than water and what happens is as the ice melts in vinegar it forms a cool layer of water in the surface. The ice floats so it's in contact with the cool layer. When ice is in water, as the ice melts, the melted water is cooler an denser and drops to the bottom, so the ice floating in water is always in contact with a warmer layer of water.
Will purified water freeze?
Yes. Very, very pure water may remain liquid below the normal freezing point until a nucleation point (a speck of dust, an irregularity in its container, or even just a shock wave from being jostled) is added, but it will definitely freeze.
What if Sprite freeze faster than regular water?
I suppose that pure water freeze faster.
Does salt water or plain water freeze faster?
Pure water freeze faster.
Do salt water evaporates faster or do regular water evaporates faster?
Pure water is evaporated faster.
Why does pure water freeze faster than salt water?
Because salt isn't water
Does vinegar freeze faster than saltwater?
Hot water will freeze faster than vinegar because the hot water atoms will slow quickly and the vinegar will take longer to freeze because it contains an oil like sustance which take lionger to freeze.
Which will freeze faster pure water or or a mixture?
Pure water will freeze at a higher temperature than a mixture containing water. Therefore, if a means for extracting energy from a sample of pure water is the same as a means for extracting energy from a sample of a mixture containing water, the pure water will freeze first.
Does regular water evaporate the same as green water and red?
Pure water evaporate faster.
What kind of water freeze faster than any type of water?
Pure water. Anything you add to the water will depress the freezing point thus making it take longer to freeze.
Why does water freeze faster than coke and maple syrup?
Because water is pure; solutes decrease the freezing point of solvents.
Do they have a report on what freezes faster water or sugar water?
Pure water freezes faster, although as anti-freeze goes, sugar is not one of the more potent. Try salt instead.
What will freeze faster plane water are salt water?
Adding salt to water lowers its freezing point by an amount that is dependent on the salt concentration. A saturated solution, for instance, will have a freezing point of about -20ºC compared with 0ºC for pure water. In any case, pure water will freeze earlier than salt water, because pure water has a higher freezing point.
Why will water freeze faster than lemon?
The freezing point of solutions is lower than th f.p. of pure liquids.
