How does Ice Melt work to melt ice?

Answer 1

Ice melt contains a chemical that lowers the melting point of the mixture of water and itself. In doing so it prevents the ice from forming again and keeps the water liquid.

Answer 2

Ice melt works by lowering the freezing point of water to turn solid ice into liquid water. It contains chemicals such as calcium chloride or sodium chloride, which break down the bonds between water molecules and ice, accelerating the melting process. This allows the ice to melt faster and more effectively, especially in colder temperatures.
