Question

Adding salt to cold water makes it

O warmer
colder
O melt
Does adding salt to cold water make it colder or warmer or does it melt

Answer 1

Adding salt to ice water lowers the temperature from the normal freezing point of water (0 °C or 32 °F) to as low as -21 °C or -5 °F. You get the same effect if you add salt to ice cubes because the outer surface of ice always contains a thin film of water. Eventually, all the ice melts, leaving very cold salt water.

Hope that helps!
