Salt is used in countries that experience frozen winters, to remove snow from the road (it dissolves in water and decreases the freezing point of the water it's dissolved in).
Oddly enough, salt also is useful in cooking to increase the boiling point of water.

Water freezes when it comes into contact with temperatures below its freezing point of 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). This causes the water molecules to slow down and come together to form solid ice.

How does water freeze by adding salt?
It uses the chemical reaction from silicooxyxosis and creates tiny sparks, causing the molecules to slow down freezing water
The process by which digestive enzymes catalyze the breakdown of larger molecules to smaller molecules with the addition of water is known as?
The reaction would be termed a chemical reaction.
Does food coloring cause a chemical reaction?
No, food coloring does not cause a chemical reaction. Food coloring is a substance added to food to change or enhance its color, but it does not undergo a chemical change itself. It simply dissolves in the food or liquid it is added to.
What physical reaction happens when water is drying with a chemical?
The absorption of water is not a chemical reaction.
Is melting snow into water chemical or physical change?
physical, because there is no chemical reaction to cause the change. it's just heat.
Why does water cause a nail to rust?
Because of chemical reaction
What type of allergic reaction can water cause?
Water contact can cause aquagenic urticaria, presumably due to chlorine or some other trace chemical in the water, although distilled water has been known to cause this reaction.
What chemical reaction does foamy fountain cause?
Foam is a solution of soap in water.

Why does salt water freeze stuff faster?
It doesnt. The chemical reaction of the salt makes the freezing point of water lower, hence making water that would normally freeze at 32 degrees Fahrenheit melt. This is why it is used on roads or sidewalks when it is icy outside.
Is water a chemical reaction or a physical reaction?
Water is not a reaction at all. If you mean to ask if a state change in water is chemical or physical, it is physical.
What is a process that changes one or more new substances?
A chemical reaction is a process that changes one or more substances into new substances with different chemical properties. This involves the breaking and formation of chemical bonds between atoms or molecules.
Is dissoulution of sodium chloride in water a chemical reaction?
It is not a chemical reaction.
