Salt affects how fast ice melts in a cup of water. When you add salt, the melting process will be faster but it will only affect the part of the ice cube that comes into contact with salt.

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.
Why does ice melt faster in soda than in water?
Each liquid has a different melting and boiling point. If you place ice (frozen water) into a glass of water, then the water's temperature can only drop to 32 degrees and it will begin to melt. If you drop ice (pure frozen water) into Sea Water(water with salt), then the Sea Water can drop below 32 degrees. So it will take longer for the ice to warm up enough to melt. It has to do with the freezing point of the liquid it is in.
What effect does salt water have on ice?
Fresh-water ice will melt faster in salt water than it will in fresh water or in the open air. Ice forms when water molecules are cooled down enough to arrange into solid crystals. Salt will, basically, get between the water molecules and make it harder for them to form crystals.
Can you use ice melt salt in a water softener?
Be careful of what you put in your water softener.The water softeners work by ion exchange... I.E. Exchanging heavy ions with lighter ions.Typically people fill the softeners with highly pure NaCl or KCl (sodium or potassium chloride).Your ice melt (assuming it is Sodium Chloride (salt)) based, would probably work, but it may not have the same purity as the salt for the water softener.I suppose you can think of it this way... if you let your dog drink out of mud puddles, why don't you drink out of mud puddles?
What substanes can melt ice the fastest?
A very good substance for melting ice is table salt. This is because salt is highly soluble in water, and, as more NaCl dissolves in the water, the more this impurity will depress the melting point. Because the water's melting point will be depressed, it will start to melt above zero degrees Celsius. (I'm not sure this is the best substance to melt ice, I simply put it here because of its solubility in water; if anyone knows a more soluble salt, then that will probably melt ice better) Sand is also really good to melt ice
How fast does salty water melt?
Inspecified question. How much salt?
Which ice cube will melt faster one made of salt and water another made of sugar and water or one made from just water?
Salt water cubes melt fast because the salt make it give up its BTUs faster
Does the temperature of water affect how fast salt crystals or sugar crystals melt?
Yes. (BTW, the crystals are dissolving, not melting...melting occurs at a very high temperature).
Does salt affect how fast or slow water freezes?
yes it does it does not freeze as fast
How does salt affect the speed of water evaporation?
no because salt melts really fast like it melts snow fast!
Does the amount of salt added to water affect the time for iceblocks to melt?
yes a lot actuality
Does salt and sugar affect how fast water freezes?
Beacuse itss
How does salt water and soda affect plants?
it makes the plant growth not fast
Will flour water or salt water melt an ice cube faster?
Salt water will melt an ice cube faster.
What can make ice cubes melt fast?
salt
Does bottled water flavored water or salt water melt the fastest?
Salt water
Will an ice cube melt the fastest in fresh water or salt water?
it will depend on which of these waters is hotter. the hotter the water the faster the ice will melt. doesn't matter if the water is fresh or salty. its the temperature of the water that will determine how fast the ice melts.
