∙ 6y agoImpurities, 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.

Why does ice melt when salt is placed on it?
Ice melts when salt is placed on it for two reasons. Firstly, the salt sits on the ice surface, making the surface bumpy. This means that radiation doesn't just reflect away from the ice, but some heat is absorbed. Also, the salt causes impurities in the ice, reducing the melting point.
