Adding salt(NaCl) to Ice is to take temperature further down.This(Mixture of Common Salt & Ice) is commonly known as 'Freezing Mixture',which may bring down the temperature to as low as (-)20 degree C and very widely used as a Bath for lowering of temp. as well as to keep it cold for longer duration.

What happens to a glass of ice water with salt sprinkled around it?

nothing, it's only effective when salt is sprinkled ON the ice.


Why salt is sprinkled on roads when it snows?

salt melts all ice thus clearing the roads for transport


Why is salt sprinkled to the ice in ice cream?

To lower freezing point, making the ice cream mix in the container colder than freezing temperature so it freezes faster. Its much easier to make ice cream with a compressor freezer than a salt & ice freezer.


What happens when salt is sprinkled on roads when it snows?

The salt reacts chemically with the water in the snow, lowering its melting point. Depending on outside temp, this may be enough to cause the snow/ice to melt.


How does baking soda melt ice?

Baking soda is a type of salt so it will melt ice like salt. It will lower the freezing point of water and the ice will melt


What effects does baking soda have on melting ice?

Baking soda is classified as a salt. As such, it has a similar effect as table salt when placed on ice, helping it melt by lowering the freezing point. of the water.


What substance melts ice most efficiently sugar salt pepper or artificial sweetener?

== == Salt lowers the freezing point of water by 32 degrees. If salt is sprinkled onto ice, it causes the ice to melt by a heat transfer. Out of the substances listed, salt would melt ice most efficiently.


Does salt melt ice faster than oil?

Yes, salt dissolves in water and when it dissolves, some heat is produced that causes more ice to melt and dissolve more salt. Salt lowers the freezing point of water so the water that melted from the heat of solution will not re-freeze. Salt has little effect on the ice on a road, initially. Pressure on the ice from traffic causes the ice to melt. If salt crystals have been sprinkled on the ice the effect is improved. Oil, on the other hand, does not dissolve in water to any effective extent at all. It would have no effect on lowering the freezing point of water. It could insulate the ice from being heated by warm air or if the oil is very dark in color, it could absorb heat from solar radiation and melt the ice. That effect is what causes ice to melt when soot and cinders are sprinkled on it.


When salt is sprinkled on ice it melts faster why?

Salt lowers the freezing point of water, causing the ice to melt. The salt disrupts the bond between the water molecules, allowing them to move more freely and melt the ice at a lower temperature. This process absorbs heat from the surroundings, further accelerating the melting of the ice.


Why does dry ice last longer when salt is sprinkled on it?

Sprinkling salt on dry ice can help it last longer by lowering the temperature at which the dry ice sublimates. The salt lowers the freezing point of the surrounding moisture on the dry ice, creating a icy slush layer that insulates the dry ice and slows down the sublimation process.

Why is salt sprinkled on roads when it snows with some pictures?

Salt lowers the melting point of ice, so that ice and snow melt and run off the pavement. And if you write in this part, the computer assumes your question has been answered- so when asking a question, please don't do that.
