The freezing point and melting point can increase or decrease when salt and sugar are trying to melt ice. The salt and sugar lower the freezing point to help melt the ice. Without the freezing point and the melting point we would never have a good way to show when a substance will become frozen and when a substance will turn into a liquid. The freezing point and melting…
