When salt is placed on ice the ice melts. explain why?

Answer 1

salt is placed on ice the ice meits becuse ice from warer where by it from liguid to solid nuder process of sublimation,and know ice is form of solid and partical only vibrates.on other hand the particles move faster and ice of water need to evaporte befor that the ice shouid be melt

Answer 2

Impurities, such as salt, lower the melting point of a substance by weakening the intermolecular forces of attraction that hold the ice in a solid state - less heat energy is then required to overcome these intermolecular forces of attraction, allowing the sample of salt ice to melt at a lower temperature than pure ice.

Answer 3

Salt (sodium chloride) reacts with water chemically, which generates some heat, which causes the ice to melt.

Answer 4

It absorbs all the water, that's why when you eat a lot of salt you get really thirsty or your mouth feels dry.
