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.

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.
What effect does antifreeze have on the melting point of ice?
Antifreeze decreases the freezing point of ice so that it melts at lower temperatures also.
What happen to the temperature of ice when add some salt?
The salt does not alter the temperature of the snow, but gets into the structure of the ice crystals, causing the water (ice remember is frozen water and snow is ice) to have a lower freezing point.
When common salt is added to ice than what is its melting point?
The freezing point is lowered; the decrease is proportional to the content of salt.
What do you think salt does to the melting point of ice?
Salt lowers the melting point of ice.
Does the amount of salt you add to water effect the temperature of the melting point of the ice?
yes
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.
Effect of common salt on ice?
Dissolving a salt (NaCl, CaCl2) in water the heat of dissolution is released and the melting point of ice is then decreased.
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.
What effects does baking soda have on melting ice?
Baking soda is classified as a salt. As such, it has a similar effect as table salt when placed on ice, helping it melt by lowering the freezing point. of the water.
Does more salt make ice melt faster?
yes salt lowers the melting point of ice.
