Adding salt to ice decreases its melting point.

Adding salt to the top of ice helps melt the ice faster.

Does the amount of salt you add to water effect the temperature of the melting point of the ice?

yes


How does one increase the melting or boiling point of a substance?

Add impurities (salt and others) to the substance.


How the melting poinT OF Ice can be affected?

add some soluble impurity in water like salt etc.


What happens if you mix salt with water?

The freezing point of the water is lowered. ADD: You get a salt water solution.


Will more salt or less salt that will make the ice melt faster?

In theory, the more salt you add to ice, the more you lower its melting point and the more ice will melt.


Does waters melting point increase when you add salt?

Nope. It decreases. By lowering the melting/freezing point of water, salt (usually in the form of rock salt) can be used to keep roads and other surfaces clear of ice, as it requires lower temperatures than normal to freeze.


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.


Does the melting point of water change?

Yes. The freezing point of water (melting point of ice) depends on both the temperature and the pressure. One easy way to lower the pressure is to add salt to ice. This lowers its freezing point and caused it to melt. Salt is spread on street and sidewalk ice in some areas to melt it and the addition of salt to ice is also used in the cooling of ice cream.


What happens to the freezing point of pure water when salt is added to it?

it lowers it. impurities lower the melting and raise the boiling point of substances. they also cause the melting point to fall over a range now. for example, water's melting point was initially 0 but upon adding salt it now is -5 to -1 degrees celsius.


What happens when you add salt to ice why?

The freezing point of water decrease because the dissolution is a process which release heat.


What happen to the temperature of ice when add some salt?

The salt does not alter the temperature of the snow, but gets into the structure of the ice crystals, causing the water (ice remember is frozen water and snow is ice) to have a lower freezing point.


What process does not add salt to seawater?

Precipitation, land water runoff and the melting of icebergs do not add salts to seawater.
