Im testing to see if a salt solut.
Freezing water bottles with salt.
It s cool below the freezing point cool.
Find a 20 oz.
By adding enough salt it s relatively easy to prepare a bath that is 10 c or colder.
Bottle mine was diet coke yes i know not healthy but we all have our vices add 1 4 cup salt and fill with water.
Did you know that you can cool water below its freezing point at 32 f 0 c without it becoming solid.
You re a smart consumer and you ve heard the myths about chemicals.
No i am not giving my chickens salt water.
This is a great illustration of how supercooled liquids defy freezing even at temperatures well below their freezing points.
In a smaller tub a large bottle of water might make it hard for.
This method of instant freezing is called supercooling you can use salt ice and water to supercool water bottles in an instant.
That would be bad very bad.
Supercooled water will remain a liquid until something.
The idea is that even if the tank forms a layer of ice on it your cattle could push the bottle down allowing access to water.
And since the freezing point of this salt water ice solution bath the temperature where freezing and melting is in equilibrium is lower that that of a pure water ice bath we can use this to super cool our bottles of pure water.
This way it can gradually thaw providing you with icy cold liquid to sip on throughout the day.
The process is amazing to watch but hard to repeat.
Does the size of the bottle matter.
Im trying to use ice bottles that i can keep in my freezer ready to go at anytime so i will always have ice for my coolers.

You ll need some ice salt and several unopened plastic bottles of purified water to attempt this science demo.
In the sweltering heat of the summertime your water bottle won t stay cold long especially if you re outdoors.
The lower freezing point of the salt water means it ll stay liquid and moveable on the water surface longer.
Cold weather and water never make for a good combination.
