Salt is not a liquid it is a solid with a chemical compound of NaCl, it dissolves in water, that's why we have salt water. If you heated it up to about the temperature of lava it would become liquid, scince it is a mineral.

Is salt always a solid?

No, salt can exist in different states depending on the temperature and pressure. At room temperature, salt is typically a solid but it can also be dissolved in water to form a liquid solution. Additionally, at very high temperatures, salt can melt into a liquid state.


If you use a blow torch what happens when you try to melt salt?

When you try to melt salt with a blow torch, the salt will initially absorb the heat and start to melt, becoming a liquid. However, if you continue to heat the molten salt with the blow torch, it will eventually evaporate and release fumes of sodium chloride.


Which frozen liquid will melt the quickest?

The frozen liquid that will melt the quickest is the one with the lowest freezing point, such as ice. Other frozen liquids like alcohol or salt water will take longer to melt due to their lower freezing points.


How does salt melt ice?

Salt lowers the freezing point of water, causing ice to melt. When salt is added to ice, it disrupts the balance between the solid and liquid states of water, making it harder for ice to stay frozen. This allows the ice to melt at a lower temperature than it normally would.


Will dry ice melt on contact with salt?

No, dry ice will not melt on contact with salt. In the first place, dry ice does not melt. It does not have a liquid phase under normal atmospheric pressure. It transforms from solid to gas, which is called sublimation. Dry ice sublimes, rather than melts. Secondly, salt has no effect on the sublimation of dry ice. Salt has an effect on frozen water, but it does not have an effect on frozen carbon dioxide. Salt is soluble in water, it is not soluble in carbon dioxide.

What makes ice melt faster table salt sugar sand or pepper?

Table salt makes ice melt faster. Salt lowers the freezing point of water, causing ice to melt by dissolving into the liquid water and disrupting the hydrogen bond between water molecules. Sugar, sand, and pepper do not have the same effect on ice melting as salt.

How is melting water salt water?

You can't melt water as melting is the transistion from solid to liquid and water is already liquid. And, if you are referring to ice, saltwater does not freeze terrestrially.
