Yes, dissolution is an endothermic process. Particles of solid take up thermal energy from the water in order to enter solution.

Dose baking soda lower the temperature of water?

it raises the temperature.


If you add salt to water does it make freezing temperature higher or lower?

lower


Does freezing lower the temp?

That's the definition of freezing. It means to lower the temperature of whatever is being frozen below the freezing point (32C for water).


Does baking soda lower or raise the temperature of water?

Baking soda (Sodium bicarbonate) causes an exothermic reaction in the water which causes the water's temperature to lower. At the same time the baking soda dissolves in the water within a minute of putting the baking soda in the water.


Why does the Arctic Ocean freeze and the Pacific does not?

As water freezes salt is released increasing the percentage of salt in the ocean water, the higher the percentage of salt the lower the freezing temperature of the water. The cycle of water freezing -> salt being released -> more water freezing reaches equilibrium at witch point the temperature necessary to freeze more water is lower then the air temperature.


Does baking soda lower the temperature of cold water?

No, baking soda does not lower the temperature of cold water. It is used in cooking and baking primarily as a leavening agent to help food rise, and it also has some cleaning properties.


What happens when faulty water freezes?

Contaminated water also freeze, but the temperature of freezing can be lower.


If you add salt to water does it make the freezing temperature higher or lower?

Adding salt to water lowers the freezing point of the water. This is because the presence of salt disrupts the formation of ice crystals, making it harder for the water molecules to arrange into a solid structure at the same temperature as pure water.


If you add salt to water does it make the water hot or cold?

salt doesn't change the temperature of water, it changes the freezing point. salt lowers the freezing point of water so that it will become ice at a lower temperature, therefor melt at a lower temperature which is why salt is put on the roads when it is icy


How does adding salt to water affect the temperature?

Adding salt to water lowers its freezing point and raises its boiling point. This means that saltwater will have a lower freezing point and a higher boiling point than pure water.


Why alchol can measure freezing point of water?

Because alcohol freezes at a lower temperature than water.


What is the average temperature for the Arctic?

it is a little lower the freezing point of water 0 degrees
