i think that happened because salt has this chemical in it and it makes the ice melt faster on the other side sugar doesnt
Comment to anser above..
From what i have researched it doesnt matter which one you use. (salt or sugar). But it matter the quantities. If you put more salt then it will melt faster etc... They use salt on the roads instead of sugar because salt is cheaper. But you can really use anything like salt or sugar. This is because the Ions get in between the water molecules so they cannot get closer together so they cannnot freeze.
hello im only 15 years old how would i now? duh think im only half of what a teenager is
Pure water has a certain freezing point. Any given freezing point depression is roughly proportional to the molality of solute particles in the given solution. Therefore, since salt has more molecules per gram than sugar, it lowers the freezing point of the water more, causing the ice to melt.
Please see the Related Links for a thorough explanation of why and how salt melts ice.
salt can lower the freezing point of the ice cube and sugar cant do nothing at all
yes it does melt faster with salt on it, try it its much fun but abig mess
the sodium cloride in the salt causes it to melt fast and the suger is a sweet and has no sodium cloride so does not effect it at all
A salt water icecube has a lower freezing temperature and so will melt faster.
Salt water will melt an ice cube faster.
I think it will melt faster in soda, cause of the chemicals it has more than juice.
It absorbs more light
Ice cube with salt. The salt disrupts the lattice formation in the ice, lowering the melting temperature. As the salt melts ice, the surface area exposed to the salt increases, further perpetuationg the reaction.
"The ice cube without salt melts because the air around it is warmer than 32 degrees F. The salted cube melts faster. When you add salt it dissolves into the water of the ice cube. Salt water freezes at a lower temperature than the 32 degrees F at which freshwater freezes. The difference between the air temperature and the freezing point of salt water is bigger than the difference between the air temperature and the freezing point of freshwater. This makes the ice with salt on it melt faster." ("Salt and Ice." Salt and Ice. N.p., n.d. Web. 23 Nov. 2015.)
Salt water will melt an ice cube faster.
An ice cube melts faster in salt water.
yes.
Yes it does, in northern states when it snows they use ice to melt the streets.
salt
Salt would melt the ice cube faster because if you have noticed, people put down salt to melt the ice.
an ice cube with salt
No, an ice cube doesn't melt faster in soil.
yes as the salt dissolves lowering the ices freezing point!!
Yes, in fact it doesnt melt. The salt goes through the ice, then make little holes in the ice.
An ice cube will melt faster in hot water.
because the salt makes the ice melt and if it is just ice tht means theres no salt so it wont melt as fast
