Just plain old NaCl... harsh chemical compounds are unnecessary and not environmentally sound, so solar salt is a pretty homogenous product... some blends may be a mixture of salt and sand (the sand helps provide traction during the time the salt is working to remove the ice), but, other than that, you're not going to find chemicals added to it.
Calcium chloride works as well or better, but it's increased expense over salt makes it rarely used for that purpose. Sand is frequently used, but does not melt ice - it merely gives some grip on it.
Salt laden grit.
The salt lowers the freezing point of the water and the grit helps with grip.
im not really sure of the name but all i know that its the green ice = )
cat litter and sand
Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
i dont no
Baking soda is a type of salt so it will melt ice like salt. It will lower the freezing point of water and the ice will melt
Salt water will melt an ice cube faster.
Salt water freezes at a lower temperature, which is why salt is used to melt road ice. In an environment where the temperature is slowly getting warmer as to melt the ice, frozen salt water will melt quicker than ice.
I believe they place salt on ice because the salt speeds up the process to melt the ice faster therefore the ice isn't as slippery and it doesn't stay there as long.

Adding salt to ice decreases its melting point. Adding salt to the top of ice helps melt the ice faster.
it slowly burns it with the chemicals in the salt
to melt the ice put salt
No, salt does not stop ice from melting. In fact if the temperature is not too low it will cause ice to melt.
to melt ice on the roads
magnesium chloride
Utah uses salt, sand, and liquid ice-melt on the roads during winter.
because the sodium chloride is salt and we use it in the roads because the salt melt the ice
yes. that's why they use salt as a de-icer on roads.
No That is why there is way too much salt o the roads after every snow storm.
So that you won't slip or that will help the ice melt?
You can put salt on many foods. or, Salt is used to melt ice on roads and sidewalk.
So when the roads are icey or snowy people put the salt on it to melt which salt has sodium and chlorine.
