What is minimum concentration of salt to melt snow?
Salt just lowers the freezing point of water. It makes it so it has to be colder for snow to stick. It will not melt snow that is already there. In fact it will just make it harder.
Why is Deicer salt really good to melt snow?
Because salt has chemicals inside that can easily melt snow
How do you make rock salt to make the snow melt?
During the dissolution in water sodium chloride release the heat of solution.
What is placed on snow so can melt?

Do ice cubes melt faster when salt is added?
yes they do melt faster like you know in the winter how you put salt out in the snow and it melts the snow,well that proves it

How long does it take for salt to melt snow?
Sand is not used to melt snow, it is just used to increase friction, so the snow is not as slippery. Salt is used to melt snow, not sand. And salt works quite rapidly (but the actual speed will depend upon the ambient temperature).

Does the formula of salt matter when it comes to melting snow?
How cool is it that I found this question? I did this for my science project. Yes, it does matter. People in the north melt snow all the time with salt. I did an experiment (a common one, but I had a good reason to do it) and it proved that salt keeps the water around it from freezing as fast, and helps it melt slower. The formula is a big deal. This actually has a bit to do with global warming. Salt from oceans (and the Great Salt Lake) eventually get to places where snow falls often, and it melts more snow than what is supposed to be melted. Pretty neat, huh?
Why does a block of ice melt slower than a sheet of ice?
in a block of ice the ice is packed more closely together causing it to melt slower. Just like when you make a snowman, even after all the snow on the ground has melted the snowman still remains.
