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.


Salt melt ice and what is the hipotheses of this experiment?

Hypothesis: Sprinkle Salt on ice would melt the ice. Null-Hypothesis: Sprinkle Salt do ice do not melt the ice. Theory behind hypothesis: (explain what any why you believe the salt do or interact to melt the ice like if it exert heat from solution) Hypothesis is just write the sentence describe what would you believe in the result and what might be the cause of what is going on. You then design experiment base on your hypothesis.


Which will make ice melt qicker ice or salt add to ice?

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.


How long does it sand to melt ice?

Sand will not melt ice, it only adds a rough surface to enhance traction. A rough guideline for most "sand/salt" ice melt commercial products, if there isn't an improvement within a half hour, re-apply the ice melt. A Salt or similar compound that undergoes an exothermic (releasing heat) reaction with water will melt ice, and sometimes salt and sand are mixed for this purpose, the sand providing traction until the salt melts the ice. Keep in mind that non-salt ice melts can work faster and are less damaging to concrete and metal compared to salt. The speed of the ice melting depends on many factors, such as the thickness of the ice, ambient air temperature, and amount of salt applied.


Why do people use salt on icy roads?

because it will melt the ice on the sidewalks.
