What is the freezing point for pure water?

Can you state that?

What is the freezing point for salt water?

Can you assume that?

How come salt water will freeze but salt

melts ice?
Why does this happen?

temperature drops rapidly. Once it begins to freeze
the temperature remains fairly constant. Explain why?
Q2 : At what temperature did the salt water begin to
freeze. Why is this lower than the pure water.
Q3: Identify the sections of the graph that show the
freezing of the pure and salt waters. The pure water
shows a fairly flat region whilst the salt water has a
sharper gradient. Explain why.
Q4: If you look carefully at the region where freezing
starts you may notice a small blip where the
temperature actually increased for a short period.
Why did this happen.
Q5 : Think about what happens to the temperatures of
the two samples as they warm back up to room
temperature. Sketch a graph of temperature against
