no, but ice melt is a salt
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 is the common name for CaCl2?
Calcium chloride Since it is a good deicer with less effect on plants, it may also be the "salt" referred to when someone is salting icy walkways or streets or roads.
Which substance will melt the ice first salt or sugar?

Why does ice melt at a lower temperature with salt?
It's due to the material in the salt that allows the ice's mass to lower. The temperature doesn't effect the process in a good way. Actually, it helps the ice melt more with the salt material.

How fast does 2 tablespoons of salt melt 5 pints of melted ice?
Instantly, the ice is already melted. If the ice weren't melted, it would depend on what salt was used and the temperature of the salt and the ice. Certain salts, like magnesium chloride, melt ice much faster and at a lower temperature than table salt. If the ice is really cold it won't melt, regardless of what salt is used.
Does ice melt in saltwater with more or less salt?
It will melt more quickly with more salt.
