Question

To prepare the cooling system for an ice cream freezer, the chef adds 59.7 g of salt (NaCl) to 1433.3 g of ice. Predict the lowest temperature that may be reached by the ice-salt mixture.

Answer 1

Answer: The entire water/ice solution is at the melting/freezing point, 32°F (0°C). Adding rock salt — or any substance that dissolves in water — disrupts this equilibrium.

Explanation: Hope this helps! Have a great day :)
