Have you tried to freeze it?Here's htnemsiog I found online that may interest you Originally posted by daniel3777 when an ice berg freezes in salt water, the ice is actually pure water because the freezing water kind of pushes the salt out. so why does the suger in koolaid freeze with the water. i asked my chemistry teacher and he looked for the answer but he doesn't know why. this may seem like a stupid question but it is really bugging me. Simple the sugar in koolaid does NOT freeze with the water. For your iceberg, you have three phases, solid water, a more concentrated salt solution, and if concentrated enough, solid salt. The solid phases have sufficiently different densities to settle out or float, and the liquid phase is low enough in viscosity that the solids can separate from it. The koolaid? You get solid water in a network of needles in whatever mold you're using to make popsicles; you get a more and more concentrated sugar syrup that has a viscosity that increases with concentration poured over the ice crystal network, and at low enough temperatures a semi-solid solution of water in sugar, wet sugar plus food coloring. Does it separate into two separate blobs, ice on the top and sugar on the bottom? Eventually, if you cycle your popsicle up and down in temperature without ever exceeding a temperature 2-3 degrees below the freezing point of water go check your mother's/g-mom's/friend's freezer for the two year old package of popsicles and look at the contents stickly, gooey syrup on one side and colorless ice on the other.
