How can the salt melt the ice even when the salt is cold?
yes it can. The salt eats away at it. So the ice is disintegrating slowly even though the salt is cold.
Why does salt sprinkled on icy roads cause the ice to melt?
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.
How does salt efeat ice?
it affects ice by the dryness of the salt berns the ice
Which is colder ice cold or rice cold?
ice cold
How efficiently does salt melt ice?
It doesn't really, but it does keep the colder air from reaching it hence the affect of the melting process. It's okay for thin ice and mostly clear ice, but not if you're trying to break a chunk off your roof. If this is a question for homework, the answer is this: Salt doesn't melt ice. Instead, the properties of salt repel cold air and attract warmer air, seemingly melting the ice. It is efficient for sidewalks and small portions, but not for larger jobs. The ice does melt because the salt makes the freezing rate lower
What happens when you mix ice and salt?
When you mix salt with ice, the ice melts. In some situations, however, the ice can become extremely cold
Why do they put salt in the streets in the US?
Countries that have cold winters, that can result in snow and ice on their roads, will spread salt and grit to help avoid vehicle crashes.
Why is salt scattered on road that are covered with ice in cold hilly regions?

How can the salt melt the ice even when the salt is cold?
yes it can. The salt eats away at it. So the ice is disintegrating slowly even though the salt is cold.

Why in cold countries people sprinkle salt on snow?
Salt lowers the melting/freezing temperature of water, thus causing ice and snow to melt. However in places where it is VERY COLD the salt cannot lower the melting/freezing temperature enough to cause it to melt, so sand is used instead as it improves traction, even with the ice and snow still there.
If you put salt on ice does it freeze or get cold faster?
Salt lowers the temperature at which water freezes which would cause the ice to melt.
Why does it becomes bitterly cold when ice starts melting in the cold countries?
