Hi, Jose

Well the Temp. could beeither 0 degree Centigrade or it could be 0 degree
F. because a saturated soulition of salt water has a really "low"
freezing point compared to pure water. I think the Temp. is quoted in
Centigrade because most scientific experiments are done in C. , but it's
only my opinion.

regards,
Peter
