Why sand is thrown on the roads covered with snow?
Impurities in water will lower the freezing point of water. Salt on the roads will melt the ice, making the roads less slippery. The icy water now freezes at perhaps -5º instead of 0ºC. When there is salt, freezing of water (i.e. ice formation) will take place at temperatures lower than 0ºC .However there is a limit on lowering of the freezing point of water using salt. When temperatures are as low as -20º or -30ºC, putting salt on icy roads will no longer work. At these temperatures you now need to add a different chemical, Sodium Acetate. The salt also provides some traction in the form of increased friction between ice, packed snow and the tires of the cars or feet of those walking.
