Which is more effective for melting ice: calcium chloride or sodium chloride?

Calcium chloride is more effective for melting ice than sodium chloride.


Does salt melt ice faster?

Yes, because the heat of dissolution (of sodium chloride) increase the temperature.


Is Morton's ice cream salt sodium chloride?

Generally all ice creams have a little amount of sodium chloride.


Why does temperature falls below when sodium chloride is added to them?

Referring to salt being added to crushed ice perhaps? When this is done, the salt causes the ice to melt. Melting actually requires heat (latent heat of liquifaction) and so the melting ice draws heat from its surroundings, thus lowering the temperature of its surroundings. A mixture of crushed ice and salt is frequently used in the laboratory and referred to as "freezing mixture".


Can salt and chemicals melt the snow completely?

Salts (sodium chloride, calcium chloride) are added to reduce the melting point of ice; also the heat of dissolution contribute to the melting.


Why sodium chloride used on roads in winter?

because the sodium chloride is salt and we use it in the roads because the salt melt the ice

How cold does sodium chloride have to be to freeze ice cream?

The temperature of sodium chloride is not important in this case; salt is added to lower the freezing point of the mixture and to give consistency to the ice cream.


Why does sodium chloride melt ice and not sucrose?

Sodium Chloride is an ionic compound, thus it will break up into positive sodium ions and negative chloride ions that can break the hydrogen bonds that hold water molecules together in the solid structural lattice. Sucrose will melt water, but it will not melt it as fast because it is a covalent compound, not ionic, so it will not break hydrogen bonds as effectively as salt. However, sucrose is a polar molecule, and likes dissolve likes, so it will be dissolved by water and thus melt the ice, but it takes longer. (It's funny because I just did an experiment with melting points of iced tea ice cubes versus water ice cubes for my natural world class and our data supported this... easiest lab I've done in my career as a bio major haha)


How do salts such as table salt keep wet roads from frezzing in cold weather?

The released heat of solubility for sodium chloride lower the freezing temperature of ice.
