Question

What is the freezing and melting point of sea water at a salinity of 35 parts per thousand?

Answer 1

Freezing and melting point are the same thing. If you're going hot to cold, you're freezing. If your going cold to hot you're melting. But its the same temperature.

Example: Pure water: If you're getting colder liquid water will freeze at 0 C. If you're getting warmer, solid water will melt at 0 C.

You can calculate it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing-po...

But generally, 35 ppt water freezes (and melts) at -2 Celsius.
