Calcium chloride is better (the solubility heat is greater) but is more expensive.

How NACL helps in melting of ice?

Sodium chloride (salt) lowers the melting point of ice - so it turns back to water at a lower temperature that it would normally.


Effect of common salt on ice?

Dissolving a salt (NaCl, CaCl2) in water the heat of dissolution is released and the melting point of ice is then decreased.


What are bad effects for melting ice with salt?

The ion chlorine from NaCl or CaCl2 is corrosive for metals (all type of vehicles) or roads.


What substanes can melt ice the fastest?

A very good substance for melting ice is table salt. This is because salt is highly soluble in water, and, as more NaCl dissolves in the water, the more this impurity will depress the melting point. Because the water's melting point will be depressed, it will start to melt above zero degrees Celsius. (I'm not sure this is the best substance to melt ice, I simply put it here because of its solubility in water; if anyone knows a more soluble salt, then that will probably melt ice better) Sand is also really good to melt ice


What are the ingredients of ice melting salt?

We can use sodium, calcium and potassium chlorides; NaCl is the cheapest, calcium chloride is the most efficient but is more expensive.


What does melting ice do?

Melting ice turns the ice into water.


What is the name of the process of ice melting to water?

The process of ice melting into water is called "melting." This occurs when the temperature of the ice rises above its melting point, causing the solid ice to transition into liquid water.


Does the flavor of ice cream impact on how fast it melts?

In ice cream , NaCl (common salt) is added in some amounts. So due to the addition of a solvent in the ice, it increases the melting time ( decrease melting point).


Is ice melting chemical reaction?

ice melting is a physical reaction


How does adding salt to melting ice affect the rate of melting?

Adding salt to melting ice lowers the freezing point of water, causing the ice to melt at a lower temperature. This results in faster melting of the ice.


Why do ice cream melting?

Ice cream are do melting because it are because hot.
