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.
Because salt is very absorbent, therefore, soaking up the ice water faster.
Does ice melt faster in sun or shade
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
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.
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.
yes
Salt
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 :)
Dissolves water
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)."

i would think salty water would melt it fasterbutterfly10
no, but ice melt is a salt
sugar melts ice the fastest. i did a science experiment and my question was does salt sugar or pepper melt ice faster and my answer was sugar try it
Mineral salt lowers the freezing point of water, so it will melt.
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.
Yes, the salt on popcorn is common table salt, which can be used to melt ice.
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.
