Salt doesnt melt, it is absorbed, and as for melting on cold mornings.... name something that does melt on a cold morning.

----

Salt will cause water ice to soften and melt unless the temperature is very cold (much colder than you're ever likely to see this side of the arctic circle). the salt itself doesn't melt; it converts the ice around it to water and dissolves in that water, allowing it to spread out and melt more ice.

Will add salt to ice water help keep soda cold?

Yes, it will keep the soda cold because the salt help the ice not to melt. Don't believe me check it yourself. Get an ice cube put a little salt on it and it doest melt. Or get an ice cube put some salt on it and then get a string put on top and IT WILL STICK!!!!!!!


Why does salt cause snow to melt faster?

Salt increases the thermal energy of water to a point higher than the surrounding cold temperatures (below 32 degrees F), therefore causing it to melt.


How can the salt melt the ice even when the salt is cold?

Salt lowers the freezing point of water by disrupting the formation of ice crystals. When salt is added to ice, it mixes with the thin layer of liquid water on the ice's surface, forming a saltwater solution. This solution has a lower freezing point than pure water, causing the ice to melt even though the salt itself is cold.


Does ice melt in cold freshwater or cold saltwater?

It depends on the temperature of the water. If the fresh water is warmer, then it will melt quickest in the fresh water. If the saltwater is warmer, then it will melt quickest in the saltwater. If the water is frozen (regardless of saltwater or freshwater), the ice won't melt at all.

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.

Why in cold countries people sprinkle salt on snow?

Salt lowers the melting/freezing temperature of water, thus causing ice and snow to melt. However in places where it is VERY COLD the salt cannot lower the melting/freezing temperature enough to cause it to melt, so sand is used instead as it improves traction, even with the ice and snow still there.
