This is simply because salt water has a lower freezing temperature than fresh water - as the percetage of salt to water increases the freezing temperature drops. As ice has a lower density than water, less salt is required per volume (as there is less water per volume). For every 1% of salinity the freezing point drops about 1/2 a degree (although it is not linear).
What else can I help you with?
Is salt the same as ice melt?
no, but ice melt is a salt
Will popcorn salt melt ice?
Yes, the salt on popcorn is common table salt, which can be used to melt ice.
What is in salt water that it can melt ice?
salt. salt melts ice.
Will the amount of salt make a difference to melt ice?
Yes, the more salt the better to melt the ice.
What melt first of a ice cube salt and ice cube with salt?
an ice cube with salt
Which substance will melt the ice first salt or sugar?
Salt will melt first.
Will paprika melt ice faster than salt?
Paprika will NOT melt ice.
Which will melt first an ice cube or an ice cube with salt on it and why?
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.
What makes ice melt the fastest sugar salt pepper or sand?
SALT DOESNT MELT THE ICE IT JUST LOWERS THE FREEZING POINTWell Salt Does Make Ice Melt Faster :) I made the project and my result were correct SALT melts ice faster :)
Does salt make ice melt?
Salt lowers the melting point of ice, making it melt faster and at a lower temperature.
Will ice melt faster baking soda salt or ice itself?
Ice will melt faster with salt than with baking soda. Salt lowers the freezing point of water, making it easier for the ice to melt. Baking soda, on the other hand, does not have the same effect on melting ice as 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.
