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.


When ice melts it becomes?

H2O is produced when ice melts. That is an Endothermic change.Because warmer heat is entering the ice cube so that then causes the ice cube to melt. This is also a Physical change anything that melts is physical and you can reverse what you did! Science is AWESOME!


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.)


True or false An ice cube melts when it's mechanical energy increases?

It is false that an ice cube melts when it's mechanical energy increases.


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.

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.

What happens when you sprinkle salt on an ice cube?

Sprinkling salt on an ice cube lowers its freezing point and causes the ice to melt. This melting process absorbs heat from the surroundings, resulting in a drop in temperature. As a result, the ice cube becomes colder and may even freeze to your skin if touched.


What melts faster ice cube in a towel or ice cube on its own?

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?
