Assuming this is performed at a constant temp and pressure, it would melt faster in salt water because the Na+ and Cl- molecules can temper with the orientation of water molecules in ice more than the minerals that exist in tap water can.

Does an ice cube melt faster in soapy or salt water?

An ice cube melts faster in salt water.


Will flour water or salt water melt an ice cube faster?

Salt water will melt an ice cube faster than flour water. This is because salt lowers the freezing point of water, causing the ice to melt more quickly. Flour water does not lower the freezing point significantly, so it will melt ice at a slower rate.


Which ice cube will melt faster one made of salt and water another made of sugar and water or one made from just water?

The ice cube made of salt and water will melt faster than the one made of sugar and water, which in turn will melt faster than the one made from just water. Salt and sugar lower the freezing point of water, which causes the ice to melt faster.


Why does a ice cube melt faster in fresh water than salt water?

It's because THE TEMPERATURE of the water. The higher temperature the faster melts.


Dose salt melt a ice cube faster?

yes.


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?


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 would melt faster a normal ice cube or a sea water ice cube?

A sea water ice cube would melt faster than a normal ice cube because sea water has a lower freezing point due to the presence of salt. This means that it would require less heat energy to melt the sea water ice cube compared to a normal ice cube.


Does an ice cube melt faster than an ice cube with salt?

Yes it does, in northern states when it snows they use ice to melt the streets.


What makes ice cream melt faster than a ice cube?

salt


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.


Does a ice cube melt faster if it has salt?

yes as the salt dissolves lowering the ices freezing point!!
