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.

Does an ice cube melt faster in oil or water?

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.
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.
Would a sugar cube melt fast in a cold cup of water?
No, it wouldn't. a sugar cube would melt a lot faster in a cup of Hot water. the hot water helps it desolve more evenly than cold water.
Why does an ice cube melt faster in water than air?
One is the temperature of the water could be warmerSecondly when an ice cube is in water, conduction takes place. The kinetic energy of the water particles more time.moves to the ice causing it to melt. When in air radiation or convection must take place which will take
What makes ice melt faster Granitemetalor wood?
Salt makes Ice Melt Faster
What makes water melt faster?
Water doesn't melt, it vaporizes and becomes a gas. The energy from heat melts or vaporizes all matter.
Does ice melt faster in regular or in diet soda?
Ice should melt faster in diet soda than in regular soda because the sugar in regular soda makes the liquid more dense. The increased density will delay the transfer of heat that causes melting from the surrounding liquid to the ice cube.
What kind of water melts faster regular water or salted water?
At room temperature and standard atmospheric pressure, salted water will generally melt faster than regular water, as the first's melting point is lower than the latter's.
Which farbric color makes ice cubs melt faster?
I think Lite color fabrics makes ice cubs melt faster.
What makes a liquid melt faster?
the heat
Do ice cube melt faster in water or air brief description of project?
if it is hot water it tends to melt faster but if it is cold water it wont melt quickly
Why do ice cubes melt faster in water than in ice?
Water has a higher temperature in ice causing it to melt faster.
Does an ice cube melt faster in hot chocolate or hot water?
An ice cube will melt faster in hot water.
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.
Do water melt faster than air?
air does not melt.
Does salt make snow melt slower?
No, salt actually makes snow melt faster by lowering its freezing point. When salt is sprinkled on snow or ice, it causes the ice to melt and form a saltwater solution, which has a lower freezing point than pure water. This allows the snow to melt at lower temperatures than it normally would.
