Best Answer

Sodium chloride, or table salt, lowers the freezing point of water. The actual temperature will not be affected by adding salt outside of the normal heat exchange due to the surrounding environment. At room temperature, adding salt to crushed ice will begin to melt the ice because the water molecules will start to move quicker (turn to a liquid state) due to their freezing point lowering. This makes it an effective ice melter at temperatures at or just below the normal freezing point of water, 32°F or 0°C, with nominal amounts of salt. The actual lowered freezing point depends on the amount of salt added, but water will usually become supersaturated with salt when the freezing point reaches around -21.1°C.

When can you withdraw heat from something without decreasing its temperature?

When it is a crushed ice water mix. As long as there is water remaining, and there is mixing flow between water and ice, the temperature will not decrease, but the ratio of ice to water will increase as you withdraw heat.
