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.

Yes, but sometimes at lower temperatures than either of the pure ingredients forming the mixture. It is call a 'eutectic'.

physical, because there is no chemical reaction to cause the change. it's just heat.


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.
