Science:
> The freezing point and the melting point of a substance occur at the same temperature. Pure ice melts when warmed above 0c, and pure water freezes when cooled below 0c. At 0c both the solid and liquid form of water can coexist. Adding a substance to a pure liquid causes the freezing point of the resulting solution to be lowered. This process is called freezing-point depression. The lowering of the frezzing point depends on the amount of salt added. The more salt added, the lower the temperature will be before the salt-water solution freezes
