Glucose (Melting point: 146° C) will melt faster than NaCl (Melting point: 801° C)
- Heating the snow - Adding powdered (or granules) of compounds with with high specific heat of dissolution, as calcium chloride, sodium chloride, etc.
Well, if you heat it enough, it'll melt.
Sodium chloride is salt. It is used to season food and it is used to melt ice on icy roads. I'm sure it has many other uses.

Sodium Chloride is an ionic compound, thus it will break up into positive sodium ions and negative chloride ions that can break the hydrogen bonds that hold water molecules together in the solid structural lattice. Sucrose will melt water, but it will not melt it as fast because it is a covalent compound, not ionic, so it will not break hydrogen bonds as effectively as salt. However, sucrose is a polar molecule, and likes dissolve likes, so it will be dissolved by water and thus melt the ice, but it takes longer. (It's funny because I just did an experiment with melting points of iced tea ice cubes versus water ice cubes for my natural world class and our data supported this... easiest lab I've done in my career as a bio major haha)
Ice melt faster when: - the temperature is higher - powdered salts as sodium chloride or calcium chloride are added
Yes, because the heat of dissolution (of sodium chloride) increase the temperature.
Yes you can melt it. But you want a high temperature.
Sodium chloride is melted by heating at 801 0C.
sodium chloride melt earlier because it has low freezing point
Sodium chloride can be melted; the melting point of sodium chloride is 801 0C.
No, Sodium Chloride is NaCl, which is salt.

Sodium chloride has a strong ionic bond.
It is not correct: calcium chloride is more efficient (but also more expensive); the cause is that the CaCl2 enthalpy of dissolution is higher.
