Ice cube with salt. The salt disrupts the lattice formation in the ice, lowering the melting temperature. As the salt melts ice, the surface area exposed to the salt increases, further perpetuationg the reaction.

Will flour water or salt water melt an ice cube faster?
Salt water will melt an ice cube faster.
Why the ice cube melts and the salt does not?

What in salt makes ice melt fastest?
"The ice cube without salt melts because the air around it is warmer than 32 degrees F. The salted cube melts faster. When you add salt it dissolves into the water of the ice cube. Salt water freezes at a lower temperature than the 32 degrees F at which freshwater freezes. The difference between the air temperature and the freezing point of salt water is bigger than the difference between the air temperature and the freezing point of freshwater. This makes the ice with salt on it melt faster." ("Salt and Ice." Salt and Ice. N.p., n.d. Web. 23 Nov. 2015.)

What melts faster tap water ice cube or bottled water ice cubes?
Salt cube melts faster than tap water cube.That is nonsense. You cannot get a salt water ice cube in the first place. When salty water freezes (i.e. crystallizes) into water-ice, the salt remains in solution in the remaining liquid water. When enough of the water has frozen into ice, a point will be reached where the remaining salt water solution is saturated and salt crystals will drop out of solution. As freezing continues, the water and salt become almost completely separated from each other. This process of crystallization is commonly used as a method of purification for numerous materials.
