One scenario for testing a salt shaker could involve assessing its durability by subjecting it to multiple drops from different heights onto a hard surface. Testing the ease of use could involve measuring the flow rate of salt when the shaker is tilted at various angles. Additionally, testing for seal effectiveness could involve filling the salt shaker with water and observing for leaks when turned upside down.

Will dry ice melt on contact with salt?

No, dry ice will not melt on contact with salt. In the first place, dry ice does not melt. It does not have a liquid phase under normal atmospheric pressure. It transforms from solid to gas, which is called sublimation. Dry ice sublimes, rather than melts. Secondly, salt has no effect on the sublimation of dry ice. Salt has an effect on frozen water, but it does not have an effect on frozen carbon dioxide. Salt is soluble in water, it is not soluble in carbon dioxide.
