Sounds like a great question to be answered with an experiment. Take equal amounts of ice in identical containers at the same temperature, sprinkle each set of ice cubes with equal amounts of the different substances, also at the same temperature, then observe which container of ice cubes melts the fastest. Here are more opinions and answers from other FAQ Farmers: * In my experience, calcium chloride melts ice fastest. Cat litter doesn't dissolve, so it obviously can't lower the freezing point of ice. * We did this experiment for school. We found out that calcium chloride did work the best, but rubbing alcohol and rock salt worked well, too. We also found out that the cat box litter did not work at all. All it did was absorb all the ice and water and make a big ice chunk.

∙ 15y agoCalcium chloride because when it is mixed or come is contact with water the hydration energy of calcium chloride is extremely exothermic thus emitting high amounts of thermal energy , also calcium chlorides is much stronger electrolyte which contributes to its de-icing abilities.

Yes, a mixture containing 42% NaCl and 58% CaCl2 melts at about 590 Celsius while pure sodium chloride melts at about 800 Celsius.
There are several properties that distinguish sucrose from sodium chloride. One is that sucrose melts at around 186ºC whereas sodium chloride melts at around 800ºC. Another property would be that sucrose is a non electrolyte (will not conduct a current when in solution) whereas sodium chloride is an electrolyte and it will conduct a current when in solution.
Heating is a physical change. Nothing new is formed
Pure sodium? A lot of engines have "sodium cooled valves." They drill out the valve stem and fill it with metallic sodium, which melts at a low temperature. After the sodium melts, it sloshes around in the valve and pulls the heat away from the valve face, making the valve last longer and work better.

The melting point of sodium chloride is 801 0C.
Ice Melts are for minimal damage being substained by winter conditions to your lawn.
Sodium Chloride is an impurity so it inreases the melting point and reduces the boilin point of the ice, thus the ice melts at a faster rate
It goes from the solid state to the liquid state.
rock salt melts ice faster because every winter my mom puts rock salt on ice and it melts within 2 seconds so i think rock salt melts the fastest

Potassium Chloride is the most commonly used "salt", but Calcium chloride is next in line.
No. Sodium chloride melts at 801 C at standard pressure and does not vaporize until it reaches 1413 C.
It does. Salt, or sodium chloride, melts at 801C or 1474F.
No. It is a physical change. It only melts.
