Ice melts because the atoms around the ice are moving faster (because they are warmer). So the faster moving atoms bump into the slow ones (the ice), and make the slow particles move faster a little bit at a time. and the slow particles make the fast ones slow down a little bit. Until all particles are moving the same speed. this is how ice melts.

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.
Which makes ice melt faster regular water or salt water?
The addition of a solvent to water depresses is freezing point but also depresses its melting point in its solid state (ice) meaning it makes them lower. That is why you put salt on an icy road, so that it will melt below water's ordinary freezing point (0°C). Ice would melt faster in saltwater because the solvent, being salt in this case, would lower the melting point of the ice causing it to melt at a lower temperature. This is counterintuitive when it seems putting salt on ice makes it colder. This is not actually occurring. The ice's melting point is being reduced and therefore melting.
Which ice cube will melt fastest in the shade or in the sun?
Does ice melt faster in sun or shade
What temperature does ice melt fastest?
Cold water will not melt the ice cube in record time, but hot water will, but salt water will also melt it fast, but if you add both together the ice cube will melt alot fast. Deceasing time alot.
Does sugar melt ice?
It doesn't melt faster but it does melt at a lower temperature. This is because the sugar molecules mix in with the water molecules and prevent them from organizing to form a solid. For more information, look up 'colligative properties,' these are the properties of solutions.
What makes ice melt faster Granitemetalor wood?
Salt makes Ice Melt Faster
What is the name of the process that causes ice to melt?
Application of heat makes ice melt, so global warming makes lots of ice melt.
What makes ice cream melt on a hot day?
The heat makes it melt.
Which farbric color makes ice cubs melt faster?
I think Lite color fabrics makes ice cubs melt faster.
Does ice make ice melt faster?
no, it just makes more ice
Does ice melt quickly if you put ice?
stupid question
What makes the arctic ice melt?
the sun
What makes a cup of ice melt?
heat
Does ice cream melt faster than frozen yogurt?
yes ice cream does melt faster than frozen yogurt because it has ice and cream in it that makes it melt faster and frozen yogurt has yogurt in it which makes it thicker and since its frozen it makes it even more thicker so ice cream does melt faster than frozen yogurt.thats why ice cream is faster melt than yogurt.
What is the hypothesis of this question what makes ice melt the fastest sand salt sugar or pepper?
You need to determine what you think will melt the fastest, and that will be your hypothesis. If you think that pepper will melt it faster, you would say "My hypothesis is that the pepper will melt ice faster than the other variables (sand, salt, and sugar)."
