What when applied to snow or ice lowers the melting point of the mixture?
Salt lowers the melting point of snow and ice.
What do you think salt does to the melting point of ice?
Salt lowers the melting point of ice.
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.
How is the melting point of asolid and boiling point of a liquidaffected when impurities are added to the substances?
Adding impurities lowers the melting point and raises the boiling point.
How does the addition of impurities to a metal affect its melting point?
generally addition of impurities lowers the melting pointand increases the boiling point
Does the presence of water raise the melting point of felsic magma?
No. Water lowers the melting point of magma, both mafic and felsic.
How does the melting behavior of lauric acid would change if an impurity was introduced in the sample?
An impurity lowers the melting point.
Lower the melting point of wax?
I use Petroleum Jelly, (Vaseline) in my wax and it lowers the melting point a bit.
What does the salt do to the melting point of water?
Salt lowers the melting point of water. The water will have to be at a colder temperature to freeze since the salt inhibits the waters ability to form ice crystals at the normal freezing temperature.
What affect does the presence of water have on the melting temperature of a rock?
Lowers the melting point. I know this because I am in Advanced Earth Science. :)
Why does salt prevent ice from forming on sidewalk?
salt lowers ice's melting point
Does sugar affect melting point?
No, sugar does not affect the melting point. The melting point of a substance is determined by its chemical composition and structure. However, adding sugar to a solution can affect its boiling point, but that is a different property.
