No. The salt does not melt in water, but it dissolves in water. The melting point of common salt (sodium chloride along with other metal salts as impurities) requires very high temperatures (exceeding 800 Degrees C) to melt. The process of melting and dissolving in a solvent are two distinct and totally different ball games, if you will.

You get molten salt! But you have to heat it very very hot... hotter than you'll ever get in home kitchen... but it is not very hard to do in a laboratory.

Yes, although your fry pan will melt before sodium chloride/table salt does. NaCl has a melting point in excess of 2300 degrees Celsius.

Yes. The chemicals in the salt makes the snow melt before it can turn colder (into its natural temperature).

What temperature does ice melt fastest?

Cold water will not melt the ice cube in record time, but hot water will, but salt water will also melt it fast, but if you add both together the ice cube will melt alot fast. Deceasing time alot.


Salt melt ice and what is the hipotheses of this experiment?

Hypothesis: Sprinkle Salt on ice would melt the ice. Null-Hypothesis: Sprinkle Salt do ice do not melt the ice. Theory behind hypothesis: (explain what any why you believe the salt do or interact to melt the ice like if it exert heat from solution) Hypothesis is just write the sentence describe what would you believe in the result and what might be the cause of what is going on. You then design experiment base on your hypothesis.


What are facts about melting ice cubes?

*melt because of heat *melt better when run under cold water *apparently salt melts it better google some more


Can gum melt or does it shrivle in heat?

How long does it sand to melt ice?

Sand will not melt ice, it only adds a rough surface to enhance traction. A rough guideline for most "sand/salt" ice melt commercial products, if there isn't an improvement within a half hour, re-apply the ice melt. A Salt or similar compound that undergoes an exothermic (releasing heat) reaction with water will melt ice, and sometimes salt and sand are mixed for this purpose, the sand providing traction until the salt melts the ice. Keep in mind that non-salt ice melts can work faster and are less damaging to concrete and metal compared to salt. The speed of the ice melting depends on many factors, such as the thickness of the ice, ambient air temperature, and amount of salt applied.
