Dose baking soda lower the temperature of water?

it raises the temperature.


Does baking soda lower or raise the temperature of water?

Baking soda (Sodium bicarbonate) causes an exothermic reaction in the water which causes the water's temperature to lower. At the same time the baking soda dissolves in the water within a minute of putting the baking soda in the water.


If you add salt to water does it make freezing temperature higher or lower?

lower


Does freezing lower the temp?

That's the definition of freezing. It means to lower the temperature of whatever is being frozen below the freezing point (32C for water).


Why does the Arctic Ocean freeze and the Pacific does not?

As water freezes salt is released increasing the percentage of salt in the ocean water, the higher the percentage of salt the lower the freezing temperature of the water. The cycle of water freezing -> salt being released -> more water freezing reaches equilibrium at witch point the temperature necessary to freeze more water is lower then the air temperature.


If you add salt to water does it make the freezing temperature higher or lower?

It make the boiling point higher, and the freezing point lower.


What happens when faulty water freezes?

Contaminated water also freeze, but the temperature of freezing can be lower.


What is one way to change water from a liquid to a solid?

Lower its temperature to below freezing.


If you add salt to water does it make the water hot or cold?

salt doesn't change the temperature of water, it changes the freezing point. salt lowers the freezing point of water so that it will become ice at a lower temperature, therefor melt at a lower temperature which is why salt is put on the roads when it is icy


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.


Does salt water freeze at a higher or lower freezing point than freshwater?

Salt water freezes at a lower temperature because the high salt content in the water lowers the freezing point but not by a lot.


Why alchol can measure freezing point of water?

Because alcohol freezes at a lower temperature than water.
