Question

Why does adding salt to water decrease its freezing point?

Group of answer choices

Salt has a lower freezing point and will therefore increase the freezing point of water

Salt creates openings in the dense structure of cooling ice, which prevents the molecules from becoming so dense that they turn into ice

Sodium and chloride bond with the water molecules which disrupts the formation of ice crystals

Adding salt increases the energy available and movement of the water molecules which will slow down the freezing process
