It's due to the material in the salt that allows the ice's mass to lower. The temperature doesn't effect the process in a good way. Actually, it helps the ice melt more with the salt material.

Does salt stop ice from melting?
No, salt does not stop ice from melting. In fact if the temperature is not too low it will cause ice to melt.
Why does ice melt when salt is added?
A2. The freezing point of salt water is lower than that of fresh, so when salt is added, it interacts with the ice to make salt water.
Will ice melt faster with salt or without?
yes it does melt because the ice melts the ice and turns into salt water ghrstikgmpsdmopsdpgmpmg psm hel;;;;;; ntgsiopnkndlgnkdsnfnskld nkl fdksmrff mfjfsamfmm fsakmimimfa madfmfms mdmfsamdoma mmdmadjd dammmda9jp mdidjaid dasmdmamdp, ,,adipaf o mdsioamdo By adding salt, an effect called the freezing point depression occurs. The salt dissolves into the ice lowering its freezing point. While this process occurs the ice will be melting
Will nitrogen in fertilizer melt ice?
"Nitrogen" in fertilizer is in the form of bioavailable nitrogen ... nitrates and/or ammonia salts ... so yes, it would lower the melting point of water and "melt ice" the same way that rock salt does.
What does sea salt do to ice?
When sea salt is added to ice, it lowers the freezing point of the ice. This helps to melt the ice, because in order for it to stay frozen the temperature would have to drop further.
Does salt make ice melt?
Salt lowers the melting point of ice, making it melt faster and at a lower temperature.
What makes ice cubes melt faster sugarpepper or salt?
Salt, since it will ionize, and therefore lower the freezing point, causing the ice to melt at a lower temperature than if there was no salt.
Which melts faster salt water or non salty water?
Salt water freezes at a lower temperature, which is why salt is used to melt road ice. In an environment where the temperature is slowly getting warmer as to melt the ice, frozen salt water will melt quicker than ice.
Does the salt melt ice faster if it can lower the freezing point more?
When you add a salt to ice , the salt lowers the freezing point of the water, keeping it from refreezing as easily and helping to melt the ice. In other word, the salt itself cannot melt ice. So if the Environment temperature is lower than the freezing point, the ice will not melt faster. But , if the temperature is higher than the freezing point, the salt will surely make the melting process faster .
Does ice melt or table salt melt ice faster?
The effect of salt (any soluble material will work) is to lower the freezing point of the water, making it melt faster at a given temperature (or melt at all, if the temperature is slightly below the normal freezing point).
How fast does 2 tablespoons of salt melt 5 pints of melted ice?
Instantly, the ice is already melted. If the ice weren't melted, it would depend on what salt was used and the temperature of the salt and the ice. Certain salts, like magnesium chloride, melt ice much faster and at a lower temperature than table salt. If the ice is really cold it won't melt, regardless of what salt is used.
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
How long does it take for kosher salt to melt a ice cube?
It takes 46:30 for kosher salt to melt ice!,
Does higher concentration of salt in ice lower or raise the time at which it takes to melt?
Salt makes the ice colder, and the the ice would melt faster.
How doe salt melt ice?
When any mineral is added to water, its freezing point is lowered. The higher the concentration of the mineral, the more the freezing point is lowered.Salt water has a lower freezing point that plain water. Adding salt to ice will lower the freezing point of the ice and effectively melt the ice, at least down to a certain temperature. Notes seem to indicate that the minimum temperature for a saltwater solution is -21.1°C, below which adding salt to the ice would be ineffective.It lowers the freezing point. Salt water has a lower freezing point than fresh water.
Will more salt or less salt that will make the ice melt faster?
In theory, the more salt you add to ice, the more you lower its melting point and the more ice will melt.
Does salt stop ice from melting?
No, salt does not stop ice from melting. In fact if the temperature is not too low it will cause ice to melt.
