Why if you left an ice cube and salt at the sun the ice cube melts and the salt doesnt?

Because the melting temperature of the ice is 32°F and
the melting temperature of the salt is 1,474°F.

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.
At what temp does sea salt freeze at?
Table salt melts/freezes at 802 degrees Celsius
How does road salt get into groundwater?
The salt dissolves which causes it to evaporate then it melts down and it becomes in the ground, which is in the groundwater.
What are the dependent variable for this question Will water with salt evaporate faster than water without salt?
If you are trying to measure how fast an ice cube melts with or without salt added, your Independent variable would be amount of salt added, and your Dependent variable would be the amount of time it takes to melt.
Which material melts ice most efficiently salt alchol or vinegar?
alcohol
What happens when you sprinkle salt on an ice cube?
it melts...
Does an ice cube melt faster in soapy or salt water?
An ice cube melts faster in salt water.
Does table salt melts a ice cube faster?
yes
Why the ice cube melts and the salt does not?
Salt cubes will also melt at temperatures of -38
What happened when sawdust or sugar or salt is added to ice cube?
it melts
Which will melt first an ice cube or an ice cube with salt on it and why?
Ice cube with salt. The salt disrupts the lattice formation in the ice, lowering the melting temperature. As the salt melts ice, the surface area exposed to the salt increases, further perpetuationg the reaction.
What happens if one puts salt on a cube of ice?
It melts, warning don't put it on your body it will burn you senseless.
Dependent variable for does an ice cube with faster than an ice cube with salt?
Yes, in fact it doesnt melt. The salt goes through the ice, then make little holes in the ice.
Will saltwater ice melt faster than freshwater ice?
No. Salt water melts faster because salt makes the freezing point lower (meaning that it makes it less frozen and the temperature higher) so it can melt faster. Why do you think people put salt on the sidewalk when it snows?
What melts ice cubes faster sugar salt or food dye?
Salt would melt the ice cube faster because if you have noticed, people put down salt to melt the ice.
What is in salt that melts ice?
It is the salt itself that melts ice.
What in salt makes ice melt fastest?
"The ice cube without salt melts because the air around it is warmer than 32 degrees F. The salted cube melts faster. When you add salt it dissolves into the water of the ice cube. Salt water freezes at a lower temperature than the 32 degrees F at which freshwater freezes. The difference between the air temperature and the freezing point of salt water is bigger than the difference between the air temperature and the freezing point of freshwater. This makes the ice with salt on it melt faster." ("Salt and Ice." Salt and Ice. N.p., n.d. Web. 23 Nov. 2015.)
