What is the predicted freezing point of water?       * Why do you think you need to put salt in the ice bath?

2. Prepare an ice bath in a foam cup with ice and table salt. Place the cup in a beaker to give it more stability. The ice bath should be deep enough so that it is above the level of the water in the test tube but well below the top. Take care not to let any of the salt or ice get into the sample of distilled water.       * What is the predicted freezing point of water?       * Why do you think you need to put salt in the ice bath?
