experiment explores how salt and sugar affect the melting rate of ice in water. Research Questions: * Does adding salt to ice and water slow down‚ speed up‚ or not change the rate the ice melts in the water? * Is salt the only substance to have this effect? What about sugar? Knowing how to speed up the melting rate of ice is very important information for anyone who needs to de-ice roads or driveways after a winter storm. While it seems simple‚ adding salt to ice water actually activates

Salt and the effect it has on water. Do you like salt? Do you put it on your food to make it taste better? Salt doesn’t just make food taste better; it can change the freezing and boiling point of water. I bet you didn’t know that! There’s a reason for that‚ but I’ll explain that a little later. First‚ let’s find out if salt can actually change the freezing and boiling point of water. To do so‚ we need to do an experiment. Now‚ if you’re going to do an experiment‚ you’re going to need a hypothesis

learned about how salt affects the freezing point of water. In my science project I wanted to see if salt affected the freezing point of water. I started by doing some experiments. My first experiment was whether tap water or salt water would freeze first. I first started by mixing up the salt water warming it for one minute and warming the tap for one minute also. My second experiment was what ice cube would melt fastest. I started by getting two bowls. Two ice cubes‚ and salt. I began by sprinkling

Geography internal 2.5B How does location affect vegetation growth? I will be looking at several factors that affect growth‚ such as density‚ height of plants‚ how different altitudes affects plant growth‚ temperature variations and wind speeds. All these are contribution factors that I assume will influence vegetation growth in the TVC. I discovered that all of the 6 sites that we visited had unique characteristics that made each one different. Some of the landscapes were baron and had very

Erica Mitchell Mr. Vredenburgh Period 5 52/55 The Effect of Carbon Dioxide on Salt Water Abstract Background: The human population strongly relies on the oceans for food‚ transportation‚ recreation‚ climate regulation‚ and half of the Earth’s oxygen. These oceans‚ that we rely so heavily on‚ are becoming more acidic and less hospitable‚ making ocean acidification the world’s second most important atmospheric carbon problem. This carbon is released into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels

Salt Water Intrusion and Salination By: Ryan Tallman University of Phoenix 2009 In this modern world we are faced with many different issues. Sometimes we forget that the majority of our earth is covered in oceans and freshwater. Almost two thirds of the world’s population lives within 250 miles of an ocean coastline. One of the many issues we are facing in our waters is saltwater intrusion and salinization. Saltwater intrusion and salinization is defined as the increase of chloride ion concentrations

been using salt since 6050 bc.We have used it for seasoning‚ preservation‚ and in the last century for lowering the freezing point of water(History of Salt). In pure water 0 degrees celsius is the normal freezing point of water. Ice will melt just as fast the water will freeze. You won’t see the melting and freezing processes as long as they are balanced and equal. Adding salt or any foreign substance to the water upsets the fragile equality between freezing and melting.

glaciers and polar ice caps melt. It demonstrated that the variation in density greatly affects salt water. I discovered that the increase in freshwater causes a decrease in density. I made three claims. First‚ the higher the salinity of the water is‚ the denser it will be. This was shown in my data by the fact that‚ with 0mL of fresh water‚ the density was 1.108 g/mL For every milliliter of fresh‚ pure water added‚ the density decreases by 0.015 grams per milliliter. I believe the density responded
