When you place salt on the ice it starts to disolve making a saltwater solution .
Salt water has a lower freezing point than water; therefore, the ice melts until the temperature of the water reaches the freezing temperature of salt water at that particular concentration.

Which ice cube will melt fastest in the shade or in the sun?
Does ice melt faster in sun or shade
What substanes can melt ice the fastest?
A very good substance for melting ice is table salt. This is because salt is highly soluble in water, and, as more NaCl dissolves in the water, the more this impurity will depress the melting point. Because the water's melting point will be depressed, it will start to melt above zero degrees Celsius. (I'm not sure this is the best substance to melt ice, I simply put it here because of its solubility in water; if anyone knows a more soluble salt, then that will probably melt ice better) Sand is also really good to melt ice
What effect does salt water have on ice?
Fresh-water ice will melt faster in salt water than it will in fresh water or in the open air. Ice forms when water molecules are cooled down enough to arrange into solid crystals. Salt will, basically, get between the water molecules and make it harder for them to form crystals.
What temperature does ice melt fastest?
Cold water will not melt the ice cube in record time, but hot water will, but salt water will also melt it fast, but if you add both together the ice cube will melt alot fast. Deceasing time alot.
Will pool salt melt ice?
yes
What makes ice melt fastest salt sugar pepper or sand?
Salt
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 :)
How does salt makes ice melt fastest data chart?
Dissolves water
What is the hypothesis of this question what makes ice melt the fastest sand salt sugar or pepper?
You need to determine what you think will melt the fastest, and that will be your hypothesis. If you think that pepper will melt it faster, you would say "My hypothesis is that the pepper will melt ice faster than the other variables (sand, salt, and sugar)."

What makes ice melt fastest salt or plain water?
Salt. When salt is added to ice, it lowers the freezing point of water, causing the ice to melt faster. This is because salt disrupts the hydrogen bonding between water molecules, making it easier for the molecules to break apart and melt.
Is salt the same as ice melt?
no, but ice melt is a salt
What do you think melts ice faster salt sugar pepper?
Salt melts ice faster than sugar or pepper. Salt lowers the freezing point of water, causing it to turn into liquid water at a lower temperature than normal. Pepper and sugar do not have the same effect on ice as salt does.
What melts ice the fastest sand mineral rock salt or cat litter?
Mineral salt lowers the freezing point of water, so it will melt.
What is the fastest way to melt ice with salt and use the least amount of salt at the same time?
The key to melting ice with salt is to ensure maximum contact between ice and salt. Using a salt powder would actually be the most effective way to do this.
Will popcorn salt melt ice?
Yes, the salt on popcorn is common table salt, which can be used to melt ice.
What melts ice the fastest sand catliter or salt?
Salt will melt it the fastest but too much salt can damage concrete and blacktop. Sand or cat litter work well to help with traction but have little effect on melting.
