Yes. The melting point of salt solutions is lower than that of pure water.

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoIt is a Physical change because it is dissolving the salt and melting the snow both reversable processes
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoNo- it causes a physical change (melting) but it is still salt and water, and if the water evaporates, leaves the salt behind, unchanged.

∙ 6y agoThis is a physical change, a freezing point depression.

Is ice being carved a chemical change?
No, melting ice is a chemical change where as carving ice is physical.... Another example is chewing food is physical where as enzymes in your saliva breaking down the food is chemical.
Is the melting of ice a physical change or a chemical change?
The melting of ice is a physical change, a change from the solid phase to a liquid phase by adding heat energy. The water can be refrozen into ice again, because it is the same chemical compound, H2O.Melting does not change the chemical elements in the ice (water), only their molecular form.Frozen water turns to liquid water. It is still water, so melting would be a physical change.
How is melting sugar different from melting an ice cube?
Because melting sugar turns color to form caramel. i.e. it has changed and specifically it has undergone a CHEMICAL CHANGE (Or chemical reaction). When melting ice, no chemical reaction occurs, and so it is just a PHYSICAL CHANGE.
Why does salt prevent ice from forming on sidewalk?
salt lowers ice's melting point
Can you explain the difference between physical changes and chemical changes?
Physical changes is change in property. Ex) change from solid to liquid....ice to water. Chemical change changes to different substances. Ex) rotting of fruit.
Is salting the ice on a sidewalk a chemical change?
yes
Is salting highways a chemical or physical change?
Salting the highway is a physical change. No chemical reaction occurs. The salt only depresses the freezing point of the ice.
Is melting ice by spreading salt on an icy sidewalk a chemical or physical change?
physical change because by adding salt you are lowering its melting point thus can melt the ice at low temperature.
Is ice melting ice a physical or chemical change?
melting ice a physical change
Is meal mealting ice a chemical or physical change?
Melting ice is a physical change because it does not change the chemical composition of the water.
Is the melting of ice a chemical change or a physical change?
its both a chemical change and a physical change.
Is melting ice into water a chemical change?
No. It is a physical change. The chemical formula for water is H2O, and that is also the chemical formula for ice. So there is no chemical change taking place, only a change in the state of matter.
Is a ice melting physical or chemical change?
melting ice a physical change
Ice dissolving in a glass of lemonade a physical or chemical change?
its a chemical change
Is a ice pack a chemical change?
Nope - ice and water both have the same chemical formula. The only change is with temperature.
Is ice a physical or chemical change?
It is a physical change. It is still the same substance.
Melting of ice chemical or physical change?
Melting ice is a physical change, because there is no new substance formed. The only thing that changes is the state of matter.
