Does Salt Melt Ice Faster Or Slower. In its pure state water freezes at 0 c or 32 f. Why does this happen. For the ice cream maker the temperature of the ice salt mixture can get much lower than if just using normal ice and this makes it possible to freeze the ice cream mixture.
Try the experiment with one normal ice cube and one colored ice cube both in salt water and in tap water. Salt does not make water freeze slower.
Salt water freezes at a lower temperature than the 32 degrees f at which freshwater freezes.
It does have to do with density but not in how high something floats. When i put salt on a ice cube it melts the ice very fast and when i saw this i could not believe it. Ice typically is coated with a thin film of liquid water which is all it takes. In water salt is a solute and it will break into its elements.
