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.
Does tap water melt faster than salt water?
Yes
How can you tell when a water and salt solution is saturated?
salt will melt and become a milky colloured liquid but you will need a very high boiling poit to achieve this
Which ice cube will melt faster one made of salt and water another made of sugar and water or one made from just water?
Salt water cubes melt fast because the salt make it give up its BTUs faster
Does ice melt fast in room temperature or with salt?
It all depends on how much ice and where it is. Ice will melt quicker in water at room temperature than in the air and a large block of ice will take longer to melt than an ice cube
Does salt melt on cold mornings?
Salt doesnt melt, it is absorbed, and as for melting on cold mornings.... name something that does melt on a cold morning.----Salt will cause water ice to soften and melt unless the temperature is very cold (much colder than you're ever likely to see this side of the arctic circle). the salt itself doesn't melt; it converts the ice around it to water and dissolves in that water, allowing it to spread out and melt more ice.
Does salt water or fresh water melt faster?
Most probably , it would be fresh water. This is because since there is no salt which would keep the cold , the fresh water would melt faster.
Why does fresh water melt faster than salt water?
Because of the salt in the water. You see, salt heightens the boiling point of water yet lowers the freezing point of water. So, naturally, something that takes longer to freeze would take longer to warm up, hence the fact that it takes longer to melt. Salt is a pretty amazing chemical/food. Hope this helps!
Why is salt used to melt ice in the winter?
because salt lowers both the melting and boiling point of water. if it is raised, then it will melt because it is no longer cold enough to freeze the water Salt doesnt melt ice; it lowers the freezing point of already molten water preventing it to refreeze and presence of water with lower F.P. means this salt water can lose more heat to ice before freezing thereby melting more ice which turns salty as soon as it melts and the process continues.
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.
If ice were to put ice into both salt water and fresh water then which water could come cold faster?
Yes it will melt faster because salt lowe the freezing
Does rock salt melt faster in hot or cold water?
Hot water, as hot water has more Kinetic Energy that increases of the rate of the rock salt being dissolved.
Will flour water or salt water melt an ice cube faster?
Salt water will melt an ice cube faster.
Why does salt cause snow to melt faster?
Salt increases the thermal energy of water to a point higher than the surrounding cold temperatures (below 32 degrees F), therefore causing it to melt.
Does baking soda dissolve faster in hot water or cold water?
It dissolves in both cold and warm.
Will add salt to ice water help keep soda cold?
Yes, it will keep the soda cold because the salt help the ice not to melt. Don't believe me check it yourself. Get an ice cube put a little salt on it and it doest melt. Or get an ice cube put some salt on it and then get a string put on top and IT WILL STICK!!!!!!!
Does bottled water flavored water or salt water melt the fastest?
Salt water
