Gas does not directly cause Ice to melt.

However if you are talking about glaciers then the gas Carbon Dioxide (CO2) causes the earths atmosphere to heat up (because it traps more of the Sun's heat) and this causes glaciers to melt - because the Earths climate is hotter.

How does the addition of salt make ice colder?

When salt is added to ice, it lowers the freezing point of the ice. This causes the ice to melt, but in order to melt, it needs to absorb heat from its surroundings, which makes the ice colder.

How causes steel to melt ice?

There is no inherent property of steel that causes it to melt ice. Ice will melt if it comes in contact with something that is warm enough to melt it, regardless of what it is made of. One possible advantage that steel has is that, like any metal, it is a good conductor of heat. This would allow it to transfer heat more quickly than a nonmetallic substance.


What makes Dry Ice melt?

Dry ice doesn't melt, it changes from a solid state, to a gas state, that's why it's called DRY ICE, there is no known way that it melts.


What does salt do to ice and snow?

Salt lowers the freezing point of water, which causes ice and snow to melt. When salt is applied to ice or snow, it forms a solution with the water, making it harder for ice to form and easier for existing ice to melt.


What temperature does dry ice melt?

Dry ice doesn't melt. It sublimates at -78 0C, or -109 0F. Sublimation is a direct transition from a solid to a gas, skipping the liquid phase.
