Ice is composed of water in its solid state.
There usually are some impurities though.
Ice melt is made up of chemicals that are intended to melt ice. These chemicals often include salt as well.
Freezer ice is practically pure, having only the permitted impurities in tap water; but note that any thing is absolute pure.
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, which has the formula CO2.
These chemicals are called deicing substances: chlorides of sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium.
yes
I think it's in the 'air' inside or even chemicals (maybe used in the cleaning of the inside) of the ice maker and the combination of chemicals in the water.... My ice tastes weird now that I have a new freezer, and I had no troubles before!
They raise the melting point of water - preventing the water turning to ice.
it slowly burns it with the chemicals in the salt
The composition is 40 % ethanol and 60 % water; extremely minor concentrations of some chemicals may exist also.
Salt is the answer to that question. The salt has more chemicals in it that will cause the ice to open up and to melt.
Splenda because it has more chemicals in it,then regular sugar which is more natural than Splenda.
The ice-cream melts in the sunshine from the radiation of the sun going down to the ground and the cool ice cream making the chemicals dissolving and melting.
