Sodium chloride is used for deicing.
Depending on the needed concentration of salt !
1 to 2 mg daily is needed.
Nope
Halite (rock salt) which is used on driveways
Yes, it may take several years until it is noticeable depending on how much and how often it is used. If you notice pitting or sparring that is the first signs of damage. There are alternatives to salt for walkways and driveways that are "safe for concrete surfaces" but you will pay a premium for these products.
Depends how much tap water you are using. :)
amount of vinegar needed to colorfast 10 yards of fabric
7 table spoons of salt stops 500ml of water from freezing
The recommended daily intake is 2,5-5 g NaCl.
For a barrel of 119 L, at 20 0C, the amount of salt will be 42 947 kg.
When cement is frozen it shrinks. the salt adds heat and it expands. The cement is not used to the change and it expands to much and it cracks. just like when paper rips. =============================== I have a different mechanism to propose: -- Salt on the surface of the frozen rock melts the fine layer of ice on the rock, just as it does when salt is used on the roads or sidewalks. -- The liquid water seeps into microscopic cracks in the cement. -- When the water re-freezes, it expands, cracking the cement.
