Ice melts when it gets warmer. The ice is receiving energy in the form of sunlight no matter how reflective it is. When the ice is reflective, the energy turns around and leaves as reflected sunlight. Less reflective ice has more of the energy stay in the ice as heat, warming it up and melting it faster.

What is in the salt that slows down the melting of ice?
Salt doesnt slow down the melting of ice. It actually speeds up the melting in most cases because the addition of salt lowers the temperature required for the water to freeze. That's why they will often put salt on the roads after a snow storm...to melt the ice.
What objects slow the melting of ice?
gelatin. it is used for slow melt popsicles.
Why does ice burg not melt with salt water all around?
Ice bergs are always melting to some extent, it is just extremely slow. There's a lot of ice to melt.
Does boiling point of water slow down with salt?
no. it does not any impurity in water and other all substances rises its boiling point and slows down its melting point . So salt will raise the boiling point of water rather than lowering it
Does salt salt slow down evaporation?
Salt will slow freezing, but not evaporation. As say salt water evaporates, it will leave behind its salt contents, but it will not evaporate any slower than fresh water.

Why salt is scattered on a frozen surface or iced surface of a skating rink?
They are scattered on the iced surface to stop the ice from melting and slow down the melting.
What is a slow melting glacier called?
A slow melting glacier
Why does salt slow evaporation?
The evaporation of water is slow when water is dissolved in salt. This is because of the salt molecules, the salt molecules is the reason for the slow evaporation.
What objects slow the melting of ice?
gelatin. it is used for slow melt popsicles.
How can you slow ice from melting?
Reduce temperature.
Why does ice burg not melt with salt water all around?
Ice bergs are always melting to some extent, it is just extremely slow. There's a lot of ice to melt.
Why sodium chloride slow down the melting of ice?
Sodium chloride (table salt) actually speeds up the melting of water ice. It also lower the freezing point of water to near 0 degrees, F. That is why salt is used as an ice melter and as a way to cool your ice cream in the old fashioned ice cream makers.
Does flour slow down melting of ice?
Yes

Why does oil slow the melting of water?
water does not melt....0_o
What materials insulates to slow down the melting process?
Styrofoam.
