Oh, dude, ice melts in cold freshwater because the freezing point of freshwater is 0 degrees Celsius, so when it's in contact with ice, it warms up and melts the ice. In cold saltwater, the freezing point is lower because of the salt, so the ice would actually melt slower. But hey, no need to lose sleep over it, ice is gonna do its thing regardless!
What else can I help you with?
Will saltwater ice melt faster than freshwater ice?
No. Salt water melts faster because salt makes the freezing point lower (meaning that it makes it less frozen and the temperature higher) so it can melt faster. Why do you think people put salt on the sidewalk when it snows?
Does the kind of water fresh or salt affect how long it takes an ice cube to melt?
Im not sure about time, but add salt or any impurity to a solution will lower its freezing point.
Why does ice burg not melt with salt water all around?
Icebergs are made up of freshwater ice, which has a lower freezing point than seawater. The salt in the seawater reduces its freezing point, making it harder for the icebergs to melt. In addition, the dense, cold freshwater from the iceberg forms a protective layer around it, insulating it from the warmer seawater.
Does freshwater marsh freeze faster than salt water marsh?
Freshwater marshes typically freeze faster than saltwater marshes due to the lower freezing point of freshwater compared to saltwater. Saltwater marshes have a lower freezing point due to the presence of dissolved salts, which can inhibit the formation of ice.
Are icebergs formed from frozen salt water?
No, icebergs are formed from freshwater ice. Saltwater freezes at a lower temperature than freshwater, so icebergs are made up of frozen freshwater from glaciers or ice shelves. When glaciers break off into the ocean, they form icebergs.
Does ice melt faster in pop or saltwater?
saltwater.
Will saltwater ice melt faster than freshwater ice?
No. Salt water melts faster because salt makes the freezing point lower (meaning that it makes it less frozen and the temperature higher) so it can melt faster. Why do you think people put salt on the sidewalk when it snows?
Does ice melt in saltwater with more or less salt?
It will melt more quickly with more salt.
Will ice melt faster in vinegar saltwater or water?
Ice will melt faster in water compared to vinegar or saltwater. Water has a lower freezing point and higher thermal conductivity, which allows it to transfer heat more efficiently to the ice, causing it to melt quicker. Vinegar and saltwater have different compositions that do not facilitate melting as effectively as pure water.
How does iodized salt melt ice?
Saltwater freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water. If you add enough salt to the ice and the temperature of the ice is higher than the freezing point of saltwater, the ice will undergo a phase change. The problem with using salt to clear ice is twofold: the phase change temp of saltwater isn't much lower than the phase change temp of freshwater (IOW when it gets just a little colder than freezing, salt no longer works) and it kills plants. Calcium chloride is becoming very popular because it works at extremely cold temperatures, and it won't kill plants.

Will ice melt in cold water?
yes
Will cold water melt ice?
yes
How can the salt melt the ice even when the salt is cold?
Salt lowers the freezing point of water by disrupting the formation of ice crystals. When salt is added to ice, it mixes with the thin layer of liquid water on the ice's surface, forming a saltwater solution. This solution has a lower freezing point than pure water, causing the ice to melt even though the salt itself is cold.
How does the amount of freshwater on Earth compare to the amount of saltwater on Earth?
Approximately 97% of the Earth's water is saltwater found in oceans, with only about 3% being freshwater. Out of this 3% freshwater, the majority is locked in glaciers and ice caps, leaving a lesser amount available in lakes, rivers, and underground sources for human use.
Why don't ice cubes melt faster in cold water?
Ice cubes don't faster in cold water because the temparature of cold water is low, ice cubes melt faster in high temparature.
