No one really invented it. For many years, salt has been known to lower the freezing point of water. This happens when the salt's ions dissociate in water. The act of lowering a freezing point (or raising a boiling point) is called water's colligative property. Generally speaking, the more ions in solution, the lower temperature at which water will freeze. The salt used on roads is usually calcium chloride (CaCl2).
some lidgit scienist who iscovered that salt lowers the melting point of ice and decided to sprkle it on roads
salt melts all ice thus clearing the roads for transport
because the sodium chloride is salt and we use it in the roads because the salt melt the ice
Sprinkling salt on icy roads doesn't warm up the ice. What it does is depress the freezing point of water to the point where the ice is too warm to be solid, even though it is just as cold as before.
Salt lowers the temperature at which ice melts. Thus, it makes the temperature inside the cooler colder.

Salt melts ice.
salt melts all ice thus clearing the roads for transport
it slowly burns it with the chemicals in the salt
Salt is good 4 roads cause it lowers the freezin point of ice and it makes the roads less slippery x
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
to melt the ice put salt
for melting ice on roads and sidewalks.
No, salt does not stop ice from melting. In fact if the temperature is not too low it will cause ice to melt.

because it will melt the ice on the sidewalks.
