When salt is added to ice, the melting point goes up, causing the ice to melt faster. That's why is cities where ice frequently is one sidewalks in winter, people shovel salt onto the sidewalk.

What kind of property is melting point and freezing point of water?
The melting point and freezing point of water are physical properties.
What's the melting point of water in Celsius?
The melting point of water is zero degrees Celsius.
What happens to the freezing point of pure water when salt is added to it?
it lowers it. impurities lower the melting and raise the boiling point of substances. they also cause the melting point to fall over a range now. for example, water's melting point was initially 0 but upon adding salt it now is -5 to -1 degrees celsius.
What is true about the melting point and freezing point of water?
At standard pressure the melting (freezing) point of pure water is 0 0C.
Does H2O have a lower melting point then CO2?
You would need to look at a temperature / pressure graph
When ethylene glycol is added to water the melting point of water is?
Ethylene glycol is antifreeze. The mixture has a lower melting point than pure water.
What is the melting point of water at sea level and what happens to this point at altitudes above sea level?
i think you mean what is the melting point of ice as water cant melt. the melting point of ice at sea level is 100 degres celsius
How does salt raises the melting point of water?
It doesn't increase the melting point of ice, instead, it lowers it. When a solute (which is the salt) is added to a solvent (which is what dissolves it), the boiling point is increased while both the freezing and melting points are decreased. This is evident in the boiling point elevation and the freezing/melting point depression system.
What happens to the boiling point of water when alcohol is added to it?
it cools it
Why does the boiling point of water change when salt is added?
By adding salt it means that you are adding an impurity into the water. Impurities can lower the boiling point, while increasing its melting point.
What is the melting point H20?
H2O is water. The melting point of water is 0oC or 32oF
What kind of property is melting point and freezing point of water?
The melting point and freezing point of water are physical properties.
What happens to water solubility as chain length increases in carboxylic acid?
It decreases. And melting point increases.
The melting point of water?
there is no melting point of water it is already a liquid its 0 degrees Celsius
What's the melting point of water in Celsius?
The melting point of water is zero degrees Celsius.
What happens to the freezing point of pure water when salt is added to it?

What happens when water is added to rock in the mantle?
It causes a lowering of the melting temperature of the material, which in turn can cause partial melting of the mantle material leading to the formation of magma.
