Hot water, salt can melt an ice cube as well but hot water raises the temperature in the ice cube causing it to go through a phase change referred to as melting thus turning it to a liquid more rapidly than salt could.

Will more salt or less salt that will make the ice melt faster?

In theory, the more salt you add to ice, the more you lower its melting point and the more ice will melt.


Can four scoops of salt melt ice faster?

yes, even though you add little salt it can melt faster than normal ice.


When you add salt to the ice will the ice remain constant or melt faster?

It will melt faster as the melting point of ice is higher than that of ice the salt with absorb the heat of the ice.


Does the salt melt ice faster if it can lower the freezing point more?

When you add a salt to ice , the salt lowers the freezing point of the water, keeping it from refreezing as easily and helping to melt the ice. In other word, the salt itself cannot melt ice. So if the Environment temperature is lower than the freezing point, the ice will not melt faster. But , if the temperature is higher than the freezing point, the salt will surely make the melting process faster .


What happens when you add salt to ice and why?

The freezing point of water decrease because the dissolution is a process which release heat.

What will happen if you add salt to ice?

Adding salt to ice lowers its freezing point, causing the ice to melt. This can create a brine solution that is colder than just ice, allowing it to absorb more heat from its surroundings. This is why salt is used to melt ice on roads or to make homemade ice cream.


If you add salt to water does it make the water hot or cold?

salt doesn't change the temperature of water, it changes the freezing point. salt lowers the freezing point of water so that it will become ice at a lower temperature, therefor melt at a lower temperature which is why salt is put on the roads when it is icy


Does salt melt ice?

no...........try it with a thermometer, just put ice in a cup, add salt then check the thermometer...........instead of going up, it will go down


How do you make the ice cubes melt faster?

There are a couple thing you could do: * add a heat source (ie. hair dryer or stove) * increase the surface area by breaking it into smaller pieces * add salt for the same reasons they add salt to ice-y roads in the winter
