What effect does salt water have on ice?

Fresh-water ice will melt faster in salt water than it will in fresh water or in the open air. Ice forms when water molecules are cooled down enough to arrange into solid crystals. Salt will, basically, get between the water molecules and make it harder for them to form crystals.


Why does the string stick to the ice when you put salt on it?

Can you use ice melt salt in a water softener?

Be careful of what you put in your water softener.The water softeners work by ion exchange... I.E. Exchanging heavy ions with lighter ions.Typically people fill the softeners with highly pure NaCl or KCl (sodium or potassium chloride).Your ice melt (assuming it is Sodium Chloride (salt)) based, would probably work, but it may not have the same purity as the salt for the water softener.I suppose you can think of it this way... if you let your dog drink out of mud puddles, why don't you drink out of mud puddles?

What happens when you put ice in salt water?

When you put ice in salt water, the salt lowers the freezing point of the water, causing the ice to melt. This process is known as freezing point depression. The ice absorbs heat from the surrounding water to melt, which makes the salt water colder than the original freshwater.
