How and why do radishes raise the freezing point of water?

Best Answers

A dissolved salt raises the boiling point of water; I guess a radish if boiled might have some of its contents go into solution, Would probably soften the radishes though, which might make it lose part of their appeal. read more

Pure water has a freezing point that is much lower and colder than 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore, the purer the water, the lower its freezing point will be. Certain impurities actually help in crystal formation, raising the freezing point to a warmer temperature. That is why common water freezes at the normal 32 degrees. read more

One way to raise the melting point of water is to increase pressure beyond about 635 MPa. By raising pressure you could get the melting point to be even greater than the normal boiling point. A second way is to lower the pressure, but this can only increase the melting point by 0.01 K. read more
