Question

When salt water freezes does the salt get forced out of it or does it stay in?

Answer 1

dear since salt is dissolved in the water it just freezez with water and adjusted in it's crystal lattice

Answer 2

IT STAYS IN IT AND WHEN THAWED THE WATER MAY EVAPORATE DEPENDING ON LOCATION AND THE REMNANTS ARE LIKE THE SALT FLATS

Answer 3

It stays in until the ice melts.

Answer 4

It stays in, because unlike it's gasueous state or water vapor, where water seperates itself from salt, when the water becomes frozen, the salt became frozen with water until it melts or turns into a liquid. It's actually basic chemistry.

Answer 5

It gets out of the ice. Icebergs had been the sweet water sources for the sailers in ancient days.

Answer 6

It stays in the iceberg, because liquids expand when they freeze. This means more water, which means more salt.

Answer 7

Stay in.

Answer 8

I've often wondered about this, and I think it can be both; but we really need a physicist to answer this question.

In most cases, if you freeze salty water; you get salty ice (or if it is a sweet solution, you get a sweet popsicle).  But I think that happens, because the salt solution cannot separate from the ice as it freezes.

However; you can also get a phase change as the water starts to freeze, with a weak solution freezing first; leaving an unfrozen more saturated brine solution, which would mix with the underlying water.  I don't know however; whether this effect is great enough to cause frozen sea-ice to be salt-free.

Icebergs are different - they are made of fresh water; because they are formed from snow which has been compressed to form ice, which has then flowed down as a 'river of ice' to the sea.  Icebergs do not form from sea ice.
