Freezing Point Depression 2

1. The document describes an experiment to compare the melting rates of pure ice versus ice mixed with salt solutions. 2. The results showed that ice with more salt (2 tbsp) melted faster than ice with less salt (1 tbsp), and pure ice melted the slowest. 3. The conclusion is that adding salt as an impurity lowers the freezing point and specific heat of water, allowing the solutions to melt faster than pure ice when exposed to room temperature conditions.

SCI ED 4 – ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY

Name: Date: September 14, 2020


Course & Block: BSED Science 2B

Freezing Point Depression 2


Objective/s:
To identify the which melts faster
To compare the difference between frozen pure water and frozen solution of salt and water
To identify if the salt will have an effect on melting process
To identify if the amount of salt will have an effect on melting process
To find out the melting point and time of three
Materials:
Prepared ice from the previous experiment,

 3 wide mouth bowls,


 timer
 measuring cup (In this experiment I used:
1 medicinal cup with 15ml volume
Procedure:
1. Place the three ice you have prepared from the previous experiment in three separate
bowls.
2. Observe how the ice melts at intervals of 15 minutes.
3. Measure the amount of liquid that melts from the ice using measuring spoon, medicine cup
or ordinary kitchen spoon. 
Results and Discussion:

Time ice melted completely


Frozen water -----1.25hr
with 2 tbsp. of salt
Frozen water with 1 ----------------2hrs.
tbsp. of salt
---------------------2.25hrs
Frozen water

At room temperature. The frozen water with 2 tbsp. of salt melted faster than the frozen water
with 1 tbsp. of salt. It takes1.25hr to completely melt the Frozen water with 2 tbsp. of salt
while the Frozen water with 1 tbsp. of salt takes 2hrs. 2.25hrs for Frozen water.
Conclusion:
From this experiment I therefore conclude that mixing impurities reduces both specific
heat capacity as well as enthalpy of fusion. Which are energy required to increase temperature
and melt solid respectively. Since the frozen solution of water and salt freezes colder
temperature then heat will flow into it more quickly.
