If the temperatures were raised slowly under the same conditions, would ice made from fresh water or sea water melt first? Which would boil first? Which of these would allow the temperature of an ice cream maker to drop below 0°C? Which requires colder temperatures to freeze, unsalted roads or salted roads? Which requires more heat to boil, pure water or a sugar solution used for making candy?
