Other way around, it comes down to surface area/mass
Yes, the more salt the better to melt the ice.
sea salt but a little difference
*melt because of heat *melt better when run under cold water *apparently salt melts it better Google some more
no, but ice melt is a salt

Salt will melt first.
Indiana primarily uses rock salt (sodium chloride) to melt ice on roads. This salt is effective in lowering the freezing point of water, causing ice to melt and provide better traction for vehicles. Sometimes, a mixture of salt and sand is used for additional traction on roads in Indiana.
Yes, the salt on popcorn is common table salt, which can be used to melt ice.
Salt cubes will also melt at temperatures of -38
It will melt more quickly with more salt.
Cat litter can provide traction on ice, but it won't melt the ice like salt does. Salt is more effective at melting ice and preventing refreezing. If traction is your main concern, cat litter can be a good alternative to salt.
Salt melts ice better than chalk or sugar. Salt lowers the freezing point of water, causing ice to melt. Chalk does not have any properties that make it effective in melting ice, while sugar does not lower the freezing point as effectively as salt.
