Need info on what melts ice faster sand rock salt or kitty litter?
Rock salt will melt ice fastest. Sand and cat litter don't really melt the ice. They are used generally to provide particles for increasing traction on icy surfaces. Sand might prevent new ice from forming on roads. When salt dissolves into liquid water, it depresses the melting point temperature - - when helps the ice melt easier. Sand and cat litter don't dissolve into water, so they cannot have this effect. The only thing that sand and cat litter can do is absorb radiant energy from the surroundings better than ice since they are somewhat darker and less reflective - so they provide some minor assistance to melting the snow, but nowhere near the effect of salt.
Does ice melting make more water in a cup of water?
If the ice is floating (North Pole), then water levels do NOT rise when the ice melts. If the ice is on land (Alaska, Greenland, Antarctica) then the ice melting will cause sea levels to rise.
What does the melting and boiling point depend on?
In general, the melting and boiling points of substances depends on the strength of the forces holding the molecules or ions together, the intermolecular bonds. For example, sodium chloride is a giant ionic crystal lattice consisting of Na+ and Cl- ions. This structure is very strong due to the attractive forces between the ions, so a lot of energy is required to break the ionic bonds and melt NaCl, hence the melting/boiling point being very high. Conversely, a molecule like methane (CH4) has very little localised charge, it is not polar, and it is a small molecule so the attractive forces between molecules are weak and methane has a low melting and boiling point.
What is melting point of agar?
85C
What is the melting point of tempered glass?
Glass has different melting points depending on what the composition of the glass actually is. Standard soda lime glass (the most common kind of glass) melts at something on the order of 1500 °C, or about 2700 °F, while top drawer silicon oxide has a glass melting point of in excess of 2300 °C, or some 4200 °F.
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.
What happen to the temperature of ice when add some salt?
The salt does not alter the temperature of the snow, but gets into the structure of the ice crystals, causing the water (ice remember is frozen water and snow is ice) to have a lower freezing point.
Why would water boil at the top of a tube without the ice melting?
Water can boil at the top of a tube without the ice melting due to a decrease in pressure in that area, which lowers the boiling point of water. If the pressure at the top of the tube is significantly reduced, the water can transition to a gas phase (boil) even at temperatures below 0°C. Additionally, the presence of ice at the bottom can maintain a temperature below freezing, preventing it from melting while the water above it boils. This phenomenon can be observed in vacuum conditions or when localized heating occurs.
Which ice melter works best at melting ice cubes?
The ice melter that works the best at melting ice is heating it...i tried this kinda experiment for a science project by having 3 methods such as...ice melting using pellets, @ room temperature, and heating on a stove top...and obviously the method that took effect the fastest was heating on a stove top it took 2 minutes and 46 seconds on the stove top I hope this answer helped u all!!!!!!!!!
What is the melting point of gravel?
"Gravel" does not have a melting-point. The rock or rocks from which it is derived does - but you'd need to identify it/ them then look up the specific properies.
What is freezing point equal to?
Yes, provided the environment is at the same pressure. Changing pressure (for instance, on top of a mountain vs. sea level) will change the freezing/ melting/ boiling points. For example, at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees celcius), both liquid water and ice can exist, so it is the melting point of one and the freezing point of the other. Hope that clears things up. Cheers, Dave
Why there is no change in temperature when freezing and melting of ice into water?
When you add the heat of fusion (also called enthalpy of fusion) to ice at zero degrees centigrade, the energy involved serves to change the form of the material from ice to water, and it does not increase temperature. See link.
If you performed a melting point experiment in the laboratory and on the top of the mountain would your results differ explain?
Yes, the results could differ because the atmospheric pressure varies with altitude, which can affect the boiling point of liquids, including the melting point of solids. The lower atmospheric pressure at the top of a mountain can cause the melting point of a substance to be slightly lower than at sea level.
Why is there a stream at the top of a mountain?
Because when it snows on top of mountains, the melting ice slowly makes it's way down the mountain through streams and rivers. (That is why it is so cold as well.)
What are some properties of halogen?
different Halogens have different properties such as flourine: has an extremely low melting point of the top of my head it's somewhere around -249000 degrees centigrade unlike bromine which has a higher melting point flourine's colour is a green and grey
Does sugar speed up or slow down the melting process?
Put it in the oven or microwave and cook it. or put liquid nitrogen on top of it.calvinOr keep on burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) till all the glaciers melt.
Why are Antarctica ice caps melting?
Global warming. The warming oceans are actually melting the feet of the glaciers where they move down onto the ocean floor. This creates ice shelves resting on the top of the water. These shelves then break off to form icebergs, sometimes as big as the island of Manhattan. They aren't melting. In fact, the extent of the sea ice there in the last two years has grown to levels not seen in 35 years. Source: National Snow and Ice Center Data Site. Just another example of global warming not living up to alarmists expectations.
