Putting salt on ice lowers it's melting temperature. So you could have liquid (salty) water a few degrees below it's normal freezing point. That only works for about ten degrees Celsius ( eighteen Fahrenheit) after that, there's no affect.

Why does the ice cube melt and the salt does not?
Salt cubes will also melt at temperatures of -38
Why the ice cube melts and the salt does not?
Salt cubes will also melt at temperatures of -38
The variable for does the salt make the ice melt?
The variable would be room temperatures
What type of salt can be used to melt ice?
Any salt(substance) will melt ice. However, different substances lower the freezing point to different temperatures. In the UK sodium chloride (NaCl) is commonly used as road salt to melt road ice. However, calcium chloride is a better salt, but not as abundant. Have look in Wikioedia under. 'Cryoscopic Connstants).
Why in snowy places salt is used to melt ice on the roads?
Salt lowers the melting point of ice. This causes the ice to melt at temperatures below freezing (zero degrees Celsius, or 32 degrees Fahrenheit). This allows traffic to flow more safely at temperatures below freezing.
Can you use different salt for ice cream?
no,because if you put a salt in ice cream the ice cream will be tasted not nice
Will different temperatures change the melting rate of an ice cube?
yes
What is the difference between ice melting and chocolate melting?
Ice and chocolate both melt at different temperatures, and they are two different substances.
How long do this salt and ice challenge effects last for?
until you can no longer stand the pain
Why salted ice stays longer?
Salted ice does not stay longer. Salted ice melts sooner than ice alone because the mixture of salt and water lowers the freezing point of water. So the salt-ice mixture will melt at temperatures where pure ice would freeze. The only way that a salt-ice mixture would stay longer is if the temperature is so low that it has reached the freezing point of the salt-ice mixture.
Is ice cream rock salt safe to eat?
Rock salt is no different than regular salt.
Does density of ice change at different temperature?
Temperatures below freezing can form ice, and keep it frozen in dynamic equilibrium. Temperatures above freezing can melt ice, and the hotter it is, the faster it will melt.
