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?

Does the size of the salt matter in melting ice?
Yes
How does salt change matter?
By melting at 801 0C and boiling at 1 413 0C.
Does sodium chloride work on icy roads at -40?
No. There is a formula that describes the amount of salt required to reduce the melting point of ice by a degree. For that formula to work, you would be driving on salt. Then you would slide on salt instead of ice.
What are the physical properties of matter between salt and sugar?
Salt: white granular solid, high melting point, tastes salty. Sugar: white granular solid, low melting point, tastes sweet.
What do you think salt does to the melting point of ice?
Salt lowers the melting point of ice.
What are examples of melting ice and dissolving salt in water?
Ice melting in a glass, salt in the ocean
What would you find if you test the melting point of several samples of salt?
Salt will always be the same. It will always have the same formula on the periodic table. Salt is salt and if you tested different samples of it you woul!d always find the same thing
What is the melting point of salt in degrees Celsius?
The melting point of salt (Sodium Chloride) is 801 °C
When making homemade ice cream using table salt to lower the freezing point of water why does it matter that table salt has more chemicals than rock salt?
The chemcial make up of table salt hampers the melting of the ice.
Does salt affect how fast ice melt in a cup of water?
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.
Will the melting point of ice increase or decrease when salt is added on it?
The melting point of ice decreases when salt is added.
Is snow melting when salt is added a chemical or physical change?
Melting of ice with salt is example of physical change as there is no chemical reaction involved .
