Yes, it could melt on ice.
No
through water and freezing
No garlic powder can not 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
Ice will melt faster with salt than with baking soda. Salt lowers the freezing point of water, making it easier for the ice to melt. Baking soda, on the other hand, does not have the same effect on melting ice as salt.
Baking soda alone cannot melt ice as it does not have the properties to lower the freezing point of water. However, when mixed with vinegar or salt, baking soda can create a chemical reaction that generates heat, which can help to melt ice.
ice melts faster in baking soda water
no i do now think it does that.
Baking soda can help to melt ice by lowering the freezing point of water, but it is not as effective as salt or other commercial de-icing products. It may take longer for baking soda to melt ice compared to these other options, so it may not be the best choice if you need quick results.
Salt
The black powder used to melt icebergs is typically a mixture of soot and oil. When spread over the surface of the iceberg, the black color absorbs more sunlight, increasing the rate at which the ice melts.
For making the ice colder? It wouldn't work at all. The reason you put the salt on the ice is to make it melt; when ice melts it absorbs heat. Sugar won't melt ice.
