Salt lowers the freezing point of water. When you put salt on ice, it becomes salt water, so it melts. It will stay the same temperature as freshwater ice, or the same temperature it was before melted.
Well towards what I know and learned the affect is not based on the food it is based on the temperature so therefore I would have to say no and from science knowledge it stated no it is not an effect on ice.
When salt changes the state of ice from solid to liquid it absorbs heat, lowering the temperature. This has been used in home ice cream makers to make the ingredients freeze more quickly.

∙ 15y agoThe addition of another substance to any pure liquid alters that liquid's freezing point, and adding salt to ice is no exception. Salt added to water greatly lowers the water's freezing point, meaning that it will not begin to freeze until the temperature is well BELOW 0 degrees Centigrade (it's normal freezing point). Even when the saltwater does begin to freeze, it only does so partially and in patches. This is why salt is spread on roads during freezing conditions, to make them safer to drive on.

∙ 8y agoThe salt molecules are bonding with the water molecules, making it more difficult for ice to form. Also we know water freezes at the temperature 3 Fahrenheit and 0 Celsius. When the salt molecules are bonding they are lowering the frozen water (ice) temperature, and when temperature drops on something cold, it melts. Thus salt melts the 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 examples of melting ice and dissolving salt in water?
Ice melting in a glass, salt in the ocean
When you add salt to ice what happens to the melting point of the ice?
Adding salt to ice decreases its melting point. Adding salt to the top of ice helps melt the ice faster.
Will the melting point of ice increase or decrease when salt is added on it?
The melting point of ice decreases when salt is added.
What when applied to snow or ice lowers the melting point of the mixture?
Salt lowers the melting point of snow and ice.
What happens to the melting point of water when salt is added to it?
When salt is added to ice, the melting point goes up, causing the ice to melt faster. That's why is cities where ice frequently is one sidewalks in winter, people shovel salt onto the sidewalk.
Discusion for does salt affect the melting rate of ice?
Salt lower the freezing point of ice.
How do different concentrations of salt and sugar solutions affect the melting rate of ice?
Salt makes ice melt quicker and suger causes the ice to melt slower.
How does color affect the rate of ice melting?
The polar ice melt is affecting the melting rate of ice as it is rising the level of the seawater which may lead to submergence of land.
Melting ice rate with salt?
Yes, and this depends on the chemical and physical nature of the salt and also on the concentration.
How does the temperature affect ice melting with salt and sugar?
The salt will cause the ice to melt faster. the sugar shouldn't have much of a difference.
How does water temperature affect the melting rate of ice?
the hotter the water the faster the ice will melt
Does salt affect how fast ice melt in a cup of water?
Salt affects how fast ice melts in a cup of water. When you add salt, the melting process will be faster but it will only affect the part of the ice cube that comes into contact with salt.
Does salt affect the melting of ice or not?
Adding Salt to water will lower its melting point by about 5 degrees Centigrade. When it is cold outside, you spread salt over the roads so that even if the water is at -3 degrees, it will won't freeze.
What do you think salt does to the melting point of ice?
Salt lowers the melting point of ice.
Does salt effect the ability of ice's melting rate?
Yes, and this depends on the chemical and physical nature of the salt and also on the concentration.
What are examples of melting ice and dissolving salt in water?
Ice melting in a glass, salt in the ocean
When you add salt to ice what happens to the melting point of the ice?
Adding salt to ice decreases its melting point. Adding salt to the top of ice helps melt the ice faster.
