Sand melts ice faster because it has salt and the salt makes it melt alot faster than clay.
Salt
salt. its tasteyer
salt reduces the tempature at which ice freezes
The reason why it takes sand to melt ice longer than salt does, is because salt draws or absorbs the moisture in the ice faster than sand that just has a rough texture. Yes, there is salt particles in sand but not as much as normal salt by itself.
SALT DOESNT MELT THE ICE IT JUST LOWERS THE FREEZING POINTWell Salt Does Make Ice Melt Faster :) I made the project and my result were correct SALT melts ice faster :)
You need to determine what you think will melt the fastest, and that will be your hypothesis. If you think that pepper will melt it faster, you would say "My hypothesis is that the pepper will melt ice faster than the other variables (sand, salt, and sugar)."

Salt - maximum change in melting point.
Salt water will melt an ice cube faster.
Salt makes Ice Melt Faster
Sand will not melt ice, it only adds a rough surface to enhance traction. A rough guideline for most "sand/salt" ice melt commercial products, if there isn't an improvement within a half hour, re-apply the ice melt. A Salt or similar compound that undergoes an exothermic (releasing heat) reaction with water will melt ice, and sometimes salt and sand are mixed for this purpose, the sand providing traction until the salt melts the ice. Keep in mind that non-salt ice melts can work faster and are less damaging to concrete and metal compared to salt. The speed of the ice melting depends on many factors, such as the thickness of the ice, ambient air temperature, and amount of salt applied.
