If it's just a little bit of ice and salt, then you'll just get cold in that spot. If you're immersing yourself in an ice/saltwater slurry, you'll probably die from hypothermia. If it's somewhere between those two extremes, then something in between will happen.

What to put on icy roads?

It is recommended to use salt or sand to increase traction on icy roads. Sand provides grit and improves grip, while salt helps to melt the ice. It is important to drive cautiously and slowly on icy roads to prevent accidents.


Would flour have the same effect on ice that salt does?

No. The reason ice melts when you put salt on it is the freezing point of salted water is much lower than the freezing point of unsalted water. If you put salt on the ice, the salt will work its way into the ice. The temperature of ice with salt on it is higher than the freezing point of salted water, so it accomplishes a phase transformation from the solid state to the liquid state. That's what a physicist would call it in her laboratory. If it happens in her driveway early some morning, she thinks "now that the ice has melted, I can drive to work without killing myself." If you put flour in water, you make pancake batter—which freezes at about the same temperature as water. So it won't melt ice at all.


What will be the reaction if you put table salt in ice or snow?

The salt will cause the snow and ice to melt, which it does whenever I sprinkle salt on to my front path during winter, here, in the UK. For more info. search Google with your question and have a look through the websites on the subject.


Do you put down the salt before or after the snow?

It is smarter to put down salt before the snow comes. Once the snow has begun, it may be harder to melt any ice that has begun to form.


Why do some cold countries put salt on ice?

Salt lowers the freezing point of water, causing the ice to melt and preventing the formation of more ice. This can help reduce slippery conditions on roads and sidewalks by creating a slushy mixture that is easier to shovel or plow away.

What happens when you put ice in salt water?

When you put ice in salt water, the salt lowers the freezing point of the water, causing the ice to melt. This process is known as freezing point depression. The ice absorbs heat from the surrounding water to melt, which makes the salt water colder than the original freshwater.


What happens when you put salt in ice?

I put some ice in my palm then added salt and squeezed it tightly into a fist and that that turned in into "DRY ICE" it burned my hand though I had a mark for about 3 weeks. I held the ice and salt for about a minute in my closed hand.Thats what happens when you mix ice and salt.


How bad does it hurt to put ice in your hand and add salt?

Adding salt to ice can cause a significant drop in temperature, leading to a rapid cooling effect. This can result in frostbite and tissue damage if the ice and salt mixture comes in direct contact with the skin for an extended period of time. It is not recommended to intentionally put ice and salt on your skin.

When you put salt and ice together will it burn your skin?

Combining salt and ice will make very cold, salty water, which is quite uncomfortable if you get it on your skin. This could be described as a burning cold. Actually, the answer is yes. The chemical reaction from the salt melting the ice will cause a rash to appear on your skin. If you put salt on your hand then place an ice cube on the salt, the resulting chemical reaction will burn you.
