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?
What else can I help you with?
How does salt change matter?
By melting at 801 0C and boiling at 1 413 0C.
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.
Can rivers be salt water?
No, rivers are typically freshwater, not salt water. Salt water comes from oceans and seas, while rivers are fed by sources like rainfall and melting snow.
What do you think salt does to the melting point of ice?
Salt lowers the melting point of ice.
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.
What is the melting point of salt in degrees Celsius?
The melting point of salt (Sodium Chloride) is 801 °C
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.
Does salt have matter?
Salt is matter.
What would you find if you test the melting point of several samples of salt?
If you test the melting point of several samples of salt (sodium chloride), you should find that they all melt at approximately 801 degrees Celsius. Sodium chloride has a fixed melting point under standard conditions, making it a useful reference compound for calibrating temperature measurement devices.
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 .
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.
How does adding salt to melting ice affect the rate of melting?
Adding salt to melting ice lowers the freezing point of water, causing the ice to melt at a lower temperature. This results in faster melting of the ice.
