you know what, i'd presume so
Rock salt, for sure!
i think that they will turn in a river
rock salt melts ice faster because every winter my mom puts rock salt on ice and it melts within 2 seconds so i think rock salt melts the fastest
it melts
A serous difference doesn't exist.
The stuff you buy for that purpose is just plain, ordinary salt.
rock salt
its because the salt causes a decrease in the freezing point of water ie 0 degs changes to -20 degs so since ambient relative temperature i much higher than in no salt condition,it melts.
It is the salt itself that melts ice.
Sodium chloride, which is just the chemical name of table salt. It lowers the freezing temp of water.
Rock salt because it is a larger, coarser salt than table salt. It is also safer than salt water because it will provide a surface to walk on. Salt water still has the ability to freeze, so it is not a good de-icer.
Actually table salt is better for the roads and it melts the ice faster.---------------Chemically this is without any importance; but for roads is used rock salt (impure NaCl) and nobody dispels table salt (as food additive).Also the price difference is enormous.
