Is calcium chloride melting the ice a chemical or physical change?
It is a physical change.
Why calcium chloride spread on roads during winter season?
When calcium chloride is added to water, it lowers the freezing point. When spread on ice, it has the effect of melting the ice, and turning it to water. Calcium chloride is slightly less corrosive to metals that its "cousin", sodium chloride (salt), and so causes less rusting of cars, bridges, and guard rails.
Calcium chloride is often used to de-ice roads in the winter. What volume would 15.7 g calcium chloride occupy?
6.28cm3
Why does calcium chloride lower the freezing point of ice or water?
Calcium chloride dissociates and gets in between the water molecules. Its kind of like trying to stack a bunch of books with marbles in between.
Why does temperature falls below when sodium chloride is added to them?
Referring to salt being added to crushed ice perhaps? When this is done, the salt causes the ice to melt. Melting actually requires heat (latent heat of liquifaction) and so the melting ice draws heat from its surroundings, thus lowering the temperature of its surroundings. A mixture of crushed ice and salt is frequently used in the laboratory and referred to as "freezing mixture".

It is a physical change.
What is the name of the mineral that is commonly use for melting winter ice on slippery winter surfaces?
mixture of sodium chloride and calcium chloride
What is the name of the mineral that is commonly use for melting winter ice on slippery winter surfaces.?
mixture of sodium chloride and calcium chloride
Can salt and chemicals melt the snow completely?
Salts (sodium chloride, calcium chloride) are added to reduce the melting point of ice; also the heat of dissolution contribute to the melting.
Which is better for melting ice CaCl3 or NaCl?
Calcium chloride is better (the solubility heat is greater) but is more expensive.
What are the ingredients of ice melting salt?
We can use sodium, calcium and potassium chlorides; NaCl is the cheapest, calcium chloride is the most efficient but is more expensive.

Why is sodium chloride used in ice to freeze ice cream?
Sodium chloride decrease the melting point of the ice cream.
Can calcium chloride melt ice?
Yes, it can.
Why is CaCl2 used as salt to spread on streets in winter?
Calcium chloride is more efficient than sodium chloride because has a greater heat of dissolution and consecutively the temperature is greater and the melting of ice easier. Also calcium chloride is not so dangerous for the vegetation as sodium chloride. But calcium chloride is more expensive than sodium chloride. Also be sure that all the chlorides are corrosive for metals (the cars included).
What are the Advantages of ice cap melting?
nothing
What is the best ice salt for side walks?
calcium chloride
