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 else can I help you with?
People often sprinkle salt on icy driveways and sidewalksWould a substance like flour have a similar effect on the ice?
While salt melts ice by lowering its freezing point, flour does not have the same effect. Flour can actually make the surface more slippery when mixed with ice, increasing the risk of falls. It is recommended to use salt or sand to improve traction on icy surfaces.
Did salt and sugar affect the boiling temperature of water exactly the same?
yes, but i couldn't tell you the mechanics of it.

Is curing salt the same as Kosher salt?

Table salt is also "Iodized" by law in certain countries. Curing Salt is Salt with a little Sodium Nitrite added AND IS NOT THE SAME AS SALT (or Kosher Salt). This salt is mixed to cure meet and would be poisonous if not used as directed on the packaging.
What melts ice faster salt sugar or chalk?
Salt melts ice faster than sugar and chalk because salt lowers the freezing point of water. When salt is added to ice, it disrupts the balance between the solid and liquid states, causing the ice to melt more quickly. Sugar and chalk do not have the same effect on lowering the freezing point of water.

Is mixing flour and salt a physical or chemical change?
physical
What is the difference between plain flour and all purpose flour?
There is no difference between plain flour and all-purpose flour. They are one and the same. All-purpose (plain) flour does not contain the salt and baking soda that self-rising flour has.
Alternative for self-rising flour?
Take the same amount of regular flour and add 1 - 1½ teaspons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt for each cup of flour used.
When used as a thickening agent is bread flour the same as all purpose flour?
Yes, bread flour in many cases has a slightly higher gluten content, but that does not effect the taste or its usability as a thickening agent.
What effect does salt have on albinos?
Albinos (humans and animals) are no more affected by salt than others of the same species.
Is wheat flour and yeast the same?
Yes. Wheat flour is the same as Plain Flour. Unless recipe calls for whole-wheat flour, that would mean wholemeal flour.
Can you use cream of tartar in self raising flour?
Yes, and if you won't get that chemically taste.
What did the pilgrims use to bake cakes?
They would have used the same basic ingredients used today (salt, sugar, flour, eggs, milk, ect.), but would have baked it over an open fire or over very hot coals.
How many cups of self rising flour should I use instead of three cups of plain flour?
I would just try it to see how it works. It shouldn't taste THAT different. If not, then spend $4.99 on a bag of all purpose flour.
Can you substitute self-rising flour for all purpose flour in a soufflé?
yes, it tastes the same but in other things i would say not.
What is the effect of isotonic salt solution on rbc?
Iso means same, therefore the salt solution concentration is the same as the concentration of salt within the blood cells. So nothing happens - the RBC's remain the same (no shrinking/crenating or swelling/lysing)
