Yes, quite fast actually.
If you are using it to mely ice on your stairs, it will only be a temporary melt as the salt will wash away with the ice melt. Rock salt will last much longer but table salt is a good quick fix in an emergency.

should melt ice at about the same speed.

∙ 11y agoYes, it is true because the solubility heat of sodium chloride contribute to the melting of ice.

Why does table salt melts ice faster?
Because its melting point is roughly 1400 degrees
What temperature does ice melt fastest?
Cold water will not melt the ice cube in record time, but hot water will, but salt water will also melt it fast, but if you add both together the ice cube will melt alot fast. Deceasing time alot.
Does regular ice melt faster than salt ice?
There isn't anything called salt ice. Perhaps you mean salted ice? Salted ice actually melts faster than regular ice. That's why they put salt on the icy roads during the winter.
Which one of these salts melt ice quicker regular table saltkosher salt epsom salt and rock?
none
What effect does salt water have on ice?
Fresh-water ice will melt faster in salt water than it will in fresh water or in the open air. Ice forms when water molecules are cooled down enough to arrange into solid crystals. Salt will, basically, get between the water molecules and make it harder for them to form crystals.
What in table salt makes ice melt faster than rock salt?

Will table salt or sea salt melt ice faster?
Yes, it is true.
Why does table salt melt ice faster than sea salt?
Weird You Dont Know? Jk.
Does ice melt or table salt melt ice faster?
The effect of salt (any soluble material will work) is to lower the freezing point of the water, making it melt faster at a given temperature (or melt at all, if the temperature is slightly below the normal freezing point).
Will flour water or salt water melt an ice cube faster?
Salt water will melt an ice cube faster.
What makes ice melt faster table salt sugar sand or pepper?
Salt - maximum change in melting point.
What makes ice melt faster Granitemetalor wood?
Salt makes Ice Melt Faster
Will popcorn salt melt ice?
Yes, the salt on popcorn is common table salt, which can be used to melt ice.
How do ice melt faster?
it melts faster with salt
Will ice melt faster in soil or salt?
salt
What melt ice faster with salt or sand?
Salt
When you add salt to the ice will the ice remain constant or melt faster?
It will melt faster as the melting point of ice is higher than that of ice the salt with absorb the heat of the ice.
