There is a way to calculating freezing point but it is complicated to my knowledge. If you would like to see the formula click on this web link.(http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing-point_depression). It was discovered by Charles Brian Blagden. He was a British physician and served in the army as a medic or medical officer. Water will freeze at 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). Freezing will occur at a lower rate sometimes because there is less molecules. That is why melting would be faster than freezing. If you want to lower freezing point or create freezing point depression you would just add more particles to the mixture. In the real world this would be helpful if you live in a area where the roads could freeze because the salt would take up space for melting so the rate of freezing is changed. The formula to changing Celsius to Fahrenheit is °C x 9/5 + 32 = °F(°F - 32) x 5/9 = °C Adding salt could make temperatures drop to icy things. It would make it melt faster. Water freezes slower because the water molecules reach the surface if the ice. Melting rate does is not changed by salt. This is how people back then would create ice cream by using somewhat complex chemistry if you think it out more. Salt was processed 6000 years
