  • I'm assuming this is because salt water freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water (0 degrees fereinheight(sp)) and is therefore more affected by the temperature.
  • yes....salt melts ice
  • Yes, that is why lakes can freeze but seas do not, except in the north and south polar regions.
  • Salt lowers the freezing point of water. So as temperature drops, fresh water freezes before saltwater. Likewise, ice just below the freezing point will melt when salt is added.
  • Salt water freezes at a lower temperature point than fresh water. Fresh water freezes at 0c, the freezing point of salt water depends on how much salt is in the water but it can be anywhere from 0c (with virtually no salt) to -21.1 c when the water is fully saturated with salt (23.3% salt is the saturation point of salt in water). Salt water will freeze slower than fresh water and need a lower temperature to freeze.
  • yes, it does, when salts solute in water they break apart as ions for example table salt, NaCl, becomes Na+(aq) Cl-(aq) water, which is already somewhat polarizes, reacts to the soluted ions by polarizing further, thus making the bonds between water molecules more powerful stronger bonds means more energy to keep them apart, means they'll solidify at a higher temperature

  • iS THIS A GREAT PORJECT FOR AN 11 YEAR OLD TO DO? SALT WATER?
  • Because salt can lower the freezing point of the water and will take longer to freeze
  • because salt can lower temp
