Adding salt to a ice/water mix causes a temperature drop that slows the melting rate and increases the freezing rate. The net result is that ice melts more and more slowly after the initial addition of salt. Adding salt, or any foreign substance to the water upsets the balance between freezing and melting. Fewer water molecules reach the surface of the ice in a given time, so water freezes more slowly
What else can I help you with?
What happens when you add salt to ice and why?
The freezing point of water decrease because the dissolution is a process which release heat.
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.
Can four scoops of salt melt ice faster?
yes, even though you add little salt it can melt faster than normal ice.
When you add salt to the ice will the ice remain constant or melt faster?
It will melt faster as the melting point of ice is higher than that of ice the salt with absorb the heat of the ice.
Can salt rust metal?
yes, very quickly i will add
How do you make the ice cubes melt faster?
There are a couple thing you could do: * add a heat source (ie. hair dryer or stove) * increase the surface area by breaking it into smaller pieces * add salt for the same reasons they add salt to ice-y roads in the winter
Does salt melt ice?
no...........try it with a thermometer, just put ice in a cup, add salt then check the thermometer...........instead of going up, it will go down
Does the salt melt ice faster if it can lower the freezing point more?
When you add a salt to ice , the salt lowers the freezing point of the water, keeping it from refreezing as easily and helping to melt the ice. In other word, the salt itself cannot melt ice. So if the Environment temperature is lower than the freezing point, the ice will not melt faster. But , if the temperature is higher than the freezing point, the salt will surely make the melting process faster .
Which will make ice melt qicker ice or salt add to ice?
Hot water, salt can melt an ice cube as well but hot water raises the temperature in the ice cube causing it to go through a phase change referred to as melting thus turning it to a liquid more rapidly than salt could.
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!!!!!!!
What happens if you add ice to salt?
The ice will melt, as long as the temperature around it is over negative six degrees Fahrenheit. The salt combines with the snow, which is H2O, and creates salt water. Because the freezing point of salt water is negative six degrees, the salt shall melt if not in -6 degree weather.
Does salt affect how fast ice melt in a cup of water?
Salt affects how fast ice melts in a cup of water. When you add salt, the melting process will be faster but it will only affect the part of the ice cube that comes into contact with salt.
