I believe they place salt on ice because the salt speeds up the process to melt the ice faster therefore the ice isn't as slippery and it doesn't stay there as long.

∙ 16y agoWhen making ice cream and such, you salt the ice in the exterior barrel. This helps keep the ice slushy and moving freely. Otherwise, the barrel would become difficult to turn as the ice would be freezing together and sticking.

∙ 13y agosalt lowers the temperature in which ice melts/ the more salt carried by the water in solution such as NA (sodium), Ca(calcium), CL chloride). and sulf (sulfate) in water the lower freezing points

∙ 9y agoThe biggest reason for pouring salt on icy roads is that salt lowers the freezing point of water. Water normally freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, but when you add salt, that threshold drops to 20 degrees (or even 2 degrees) Fahrenheit.
And no, there really is no difference between the salt on the road and the stuff on your kitchen table. The only difference is the size. The salt on the roads has crystallized in larger pieces, while normal table salt has been crushed into tiny grains.

Salt can make ice melt faster.
However, you have not been smart enough to put the contest of the question, making it impossible to answer.

If you put salt on ice does it freeze or get cold faster?
Salt lowers the temperature at which water freezes which would cause the ice to melt.
If you wish to cool something by placing it in contact with ice should you put it on top of the ice block or put the ice block on top of it?
You should put ice block on top of it
What materials do you need for this science fair project why is salt put on icy sidewalks?
You would need ice and salt. These are also the materials that you would need in order to make ice cream using an ice cream machine.
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 you add salt to ice what happens to the melting point of the ice?
Adding salt to ice decreases its melting point. Adding salt to the top of ice helps melt the ice faster.
What should you do if you put ice and salt on your skin?
Rinse it of with fresh water.
How you can keep coke cold with ice and salt?
Put salt and ice in a bucket and then set the coke in the bucket. You can also put ice in the coke
Why ice cream seller put salt in ice?
salt causes the temp of ice water to decrease.
Should you spread salt on ice?
Only if you want the salt on the ice.
Can you use different salt for ice cream?
no,because if you put a salt in ice cream the ice cream will be tasted not nice
Why ice don't melt in table salt?
It is because when you put in table salt, actually any salt, the ice absorbs the salt's energy and that is what make the ice colder than it was.
Can you put dry ice in salt water?
Yes, you can put dry ice in salt water. It will bubble furiously and cool down the salt water.
What to put on icy roads?
to melt the ice put salt
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!!!!!!!
Why will there be a hole when you put a pinch of salt on the ice?
Some of the water molecules in the ice bond with the salt to form a solution. This solution has a higher melting point than water which forms a hole in the ice adjacent to the place where the salt was put.
How is ice cream made using salt and ice?
you just put them in a blender
Why do people sprinkle salt in front of there walk way?
Salt melts ice, so it is put on the sidewalks to melt ice.
