How Does Salt Turn Into Ice Phase Change
Research
A phase change is when a substance changes from one state of matter to another. In my experiment I will be freezing water that will turn into ice and see what chemical reaction does different types of salt have on the ice.
Salt melts ice mainly because adding salt lowers the freezing point of the water. Pure water freezes at 32°F (0°C). Water with salt (or any other substance in it) will freeze at some lower temperature. The normal freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius, so if the temperature is above that then ice will melt.
When salt and water are mixed together, the salt dissolves, which means the salt breaks into small particles that thoroughly mix with the water. A solution made with a liquid solvent is called a liquid
