The video explores whether adding salt to ice lowers its temperature through a simple experiment. Two glasses of ice are compared: one with salt and one without. Initially, both glasses have a temperature of 0.1°C. Salt is added to one glass, and after a few minutes, the temperature drops to -12°C. The science behind this is explained: salt lowers the freezing point of water, making it harder for water molecules to form a crystalline structure. This results in a lower temperature required for freezing. The video concludes with a summary of the findings and encourages viewers to like and subscribe.
