Best Answer

The sea water freeze at approx. 28 degrees Fahrenheit (between -2 0C and -3 0C).

The freezing point of salted water (with NaCl) depends on the concentration of the sodium chloride. The minimal temperature possible (-21,1 0C) is at a concentration of 23,3 % NaCl.

The freezing point of salt water varies depending on how much salt is in the water. For example, water that is 3500 parts per million salt (avg. amount in seawater) will freeze around -2 Celsius (28 degrees F). Water with an extreme amount of salt in it, like in some lake waters in Death Valley CA, with 300,000 ppm, will freeze at -20 to -30 degrees C (-4 to -20 degrees F).

Fahrenheit (°F) is a unit of temperature named for the German physicist Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686 - 1736). In the Fahrenheit scale of temperature the freezing point of water is 32 degrees and the boiling point is 212 degrees, placing the boiling and melting points of water 180 degrees apart. Zero degrees Fahrenheit indicates the lowest temperature Fahrenheit could obtain by a mixture of ice and salt.

The freezing point is -21.1 degrees Celsius and the saltwater has to be 23.3% by weight

It depends on which salt you are talking about. Table salt has a melting/freezing temperature of 801oC, for example.

Salt water freezes at a lower temperature than plain water. How much lower depends on how much salt and what kinds of salt are dissolved in it.

Does salt water freeze at the same temperature as normal water?

no, because if you put saltwater and freshwater in the freezer saltwater will not freeze completely ,because it has salt in it and it will not freeze at the same rate as freshwater that is my answer to this question.

Yes and no. When you try to freeze saltwater it will take much longer than regular water would. Also it will not freeze all the way through it will just have a layer on top.

Why does freshwater freeze faster than saltwater?

Because of a phenomenon called "freezing point depression." Dissolving any solute in a solvent causes that solvent to freeze at a lower temperature than it would if it were pure (it also causes the boiling point to go UP). The salt in saltwater causes this effect. The amount the freezing point changes depends on the amount of dissolved salt.


WHICH ONE Will freeze first saltwater or sugarwater?

Fresh water will freeze first. This is because when water freezes the hydrogen bonds form a rigid structure (Ice). Salt and sugar molecules interfere with this formation.

What is the freezing point of saltwater with a salt level of 3200 ppm?

3200ppm would have no affect on the freeze point of water, so your answer would be 32 degrees.


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)
