Hot water, salt can melt an ice cube as well but hot water raises the temperature in the ice cube causing it to go through a phase change referred to as melting thus turning it to a liquid more rapidly than salt could.

Does salt affect how fast ice melt in a cup of water?
Salt affects how fast ice melts in a cup of water. When you add salt, the melting process will be faster but it will only affect the part of the ice cube that comes into contact with salt.
What temperature does ice melt fastest?
Cold water will not melt the ice cube in record time, but hot water will, but salt water will also melt it fast, but if you add both together the ice cube will melt alot fast. Deceasing time alot.
What happens when you add heat to an iron nail?
When you add heat to an iron nail it will get hot. If enough heat energy is added the nail could melt.
How do you make a supersaturated Epsom salt solution?
make a fully saturated solution, then add more. after adding, greatly heat up the solution and stir it to dissolve more salt. when it cools down, you have a supersaturated solution. word of caution, if you put any kind of crystal structure in this solution, then the excess will crystalize back out.
Does salt make water heavier?
No; water maintains a constant mass of 1 gram milliliter. If you add salt to the mix, it won't make the water heavier, although the combined weight of both salt and water put together will be greater than the water by itself. So no the water does not get heavier, your just adding more weight in the form of salt.
Will more salt or less salt that will make the ice melt faster?
In theory, the more salt you add to ice, the more you lower its melting point and the more ice will melt.
Can four scoops of salt melt ice faster?
yes, even though you add little salt it can melt faster than normal ice.
Does the salt melt ice faster if it can lower the freezing point more?
When you add a salt to ice , the salt lowers the freezing point of the water, keeping it from refreezing as easily and helping to melt the ice. In other word, the salt itself cannot melt ice. So if the Environment temperature is lower than the freezing point, the ice will not melt faster. But , if the temperature is higher than the freezing point, the salt will surely make the melting process faster .
When you add salt to the ice will the ice remain constant or melt faster?
It will melt faster as the melting point of ice is higher than that of ice the salt with absorb the heat of the ice.
What happens when you add salt to ice and why?
The freezing point of water decrease because the dissolution is a process which release heat.
How do you make butter sauce with lobster?
To make butter sauce for lobster, take some butter and melt in a skillet over low heat. From there, add some fresh garlic, salt and pepper.
How do you make the ice cubes melt faster?
There are a couple thing you could do: * add a heat source (ie. hair dryer or stove) * increase the surface area by breaking it into smaller pieces * add salt for the same reasons they add salt to ice-y roads in the winter
If you add salt to water does it make the water hot or cold?
salt doesn't change the temperature of water, it changes the freezing point. salt lowers the freezing point of water so that it will become ice at a lower temperature, therefor melt at a lower temperature which is why salt is put on the roads when it is icy
When you add salt to ice what happens to the melting point of the ice?
Adding salt to ice decreases its melting point. Adding salt to the top of ice helps melt the ice faster.
Does salt melt ice?
no...........try it with a thermometer, just put ice in a cup, add salt then check the thermometer...........instead of going up, it will go down
What substance should you add to salt to make it more concentrated?
SALT
Could salt that melts ice kill you?
The salt used to melt ice is the same salt you add to food, so no it will not harm you, in fact without salt in your diet you would become ill and if not corrected it could be fatal.
