Will the melting point of ice increase or decrease when salt is added on it?
The melting point of ice decreases when salt is added.
When you add salt to ice what happens to the melting point of the ice?
Adding salt to ice decreases its melting point. Adding salt to the top of ice helps melt the ice faster.
How come ice with salt melts faster than ice with no salt?
Since impurities decrease melting point of solid ,so ice mixed with salt has lower melting point then pure ice .
What when applied to snow or ice lowers the melting point of the mixture?
Salt lowers the melting point of snow and ice.
Why does salt prevent ice from forming on sidewalk?
salt lowers ice's melting point
What will happen to the melting point of ice if some common salt is added to it?
The melting point is lowered.
Discusion for does salt affect the melting rate of ice?
Salt lower the freezing point of ice.
Does more salt make ice melt faster?
yes salt lowers the melting point of ice.
What is a realworld application for adding salt to lower the melting point of ice?
melting sown
What effect does salt have on the melting point of ice?
when salt is added to ice, salt being an impurity, reduces the inter molecular space between ice molecules. As we know that ice, in order to melt, contracts, i.e reduces the inter molecular space between its molecules. salt increases this activity and so ice melts at a lower temperature than it usually does. i.e salt decreases the melting point of ice.
Where does the salt in ice cream go?
Ice is added to decrease the melting point of ice cream.
When common salt is mixed with ice its melting point is?
melting point decreases as Na+ and Cl- ions occupies the air gaps in the ice .And hence solidifies results in decrease of its melting point
