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.

Whenever you add a solute to a solvent, the boiling point will go up, and the freezing point will go down.

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 affect the freezing point of water and what is the procedure of this experiment?

Adding salt (sodium chloride) the freezing point of water decrease; for an experiment add gradually salt (in known quantities) and measure the freezing point after each addition.


What two factors affect ocean salinity?

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


How does the amount of salt in a solution affect its freezing point?

Increasing the concentration of sodium chloride in water the freezing point is lower.


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.


What does salt have to do with the freezing point of water?

Adding salt to water the freezing point decrease.


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 is the freezing point of salt?

Salt, being a crystalized mineral with no water content has no freezing point.


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.
