Freezing Point
Published in Brain Teasers
The freezing point of pure water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius). However, by simply adding a common household ingredient, you then can easily cool the water 20 degrees past the freezing point, and still keep it in liquid form.
How is this possible?
Solution:
By adding salt to water, you lower the freezing point of the water. If you add enough, it is possible to get it 20 degrees below the typical freezing point.
