Does ice melt faster in fresh or salt water?
Salt water. The salt makes it melt faster, than pure fresh water.That is rubbish. Salt crystals may be spread onto ice to melt it (causing a drop in temperature too). A mixture of crushed ice and salt is commonly used as a "freezing mixture" in the laboratory. However, a lump of ice (of a given mass and temperature) will not melt at any appreciably different rate in a bath of salty water than in a bath of fresh water at the same temperature. This is because the thermal conductivity of salty water is only very slightly greater than that of fresh water, but the thermal capacity of salty water is less than that of fresh water, so any effects due to these differences tend to cancel each other out. The main factor that would influence the rate of melting would be the temperature of the water bath. Some experiments have shown that if the bath water is salty enough, the bath water is more dense than any cold, recently-melted water from the ice cube and thus there will be no convection currents which might carry heat away quicker than by conduction alone, from which the obvious conclusion is that the ice should melt quicker in fresh water.
Is salt water colder then ice?
well for something to freeze it has to be 0 degrees or lower which is what ice is, frozen water. so the water has to be 1 degree or more to NOT freeze so the ice is colder than salt watercoz salt water is not frozen... does t6hat make sense? Actually, salt water CAN be colder than ice because the salt lowers the freezing point of the water.
What happens when you put ice in salt water?
Pouring the salt in your hand and squeezing the ice cube for at least 5 to 10 minutes will leave a huge blister.
Is an ice caps water fresh water or salt water?
Yes, but they can also be salt water.
Why does salt melt ice faster than sugar or sand?
Salt. Salt dissolves in water, and causes the freezing point to fall; this causes the ice to melt. Sugar does not have this effect, and chalk doesn't dissolve in water.
What is the role of ice bath in preparation of double salt?
The coldness of the ice precipitates the salt out of the solution.
Does ice water or salt ice water cool a soda fastest?
salt ice water

What is in salt water that it can melt ice?
salt. salt melts ice.
When do you clam in salt water?
A Bath
Is salt water able to turn to ice?
No, salt water is not able to turn to ice.
Does an ice cube melt faster in saltwater or fresh water?
Salt water: because salt lowers the freezing point of water, less water will freeze onto the ice cube, while the same amount of ice will dissolve into the water. This means that overall, the salt water will thaw it quicker. we recantly did a experiment in science class where there was a bucket of salt water and a bucket of fresh water (same temperatures) and in each bucket was an ice cube the ice cube in the fresh water melted faster because in salt water there are more perservatives and has more minerals therefore it is more dense and the ice will float closer to the top while the ice cube in the fresh water floats more lower. but i could be wrong
Can bath salt dissolve in water?
Bath salts are specifically formulated to dissolve in water, adding a fragrance to bath-night.
Where would you find salt water?
in your bath
How can ice provide fresh water if the ice is salt water?
When ice forms in a salty body of water such as the ocean, the salt remains in the liquid portion of water underneath the ice, and the ice is pure water.
Which water gets warmer first salt water or ice water?
The salt water gets warmer faster then the ice water, because salt water is in the sun and the salt water is heated by the sun.
What is the difference between water bath and ice bath?
The main difference between a water bath and an ice bath lies in the temperature. A water bath is typically maintained at a moderate and consistent temperature for purposes like cooking or scientific experiments. On the other hand, an ice bath involves the addition of ice to cold water, creating a much lower temperature environment. Ice baths are commonly used for therapeutic purposes, like muscle recovery, reducing inflammation, and enhancing overall well-being.
