Rock-salt - it provides a coarse surface to aid grip - while melting the surface ice
The mineral that helps keep schools open during snowy and icy weather by melting ice is sodium chloride, commonly known as rock salt. When spread on roads and sidewalks, it lowers the freezing point of water, effectively melting ice and snow to improve safety and accessibility. This is particularly important for maintaining safe conditions for school transportation and access during winter storms.
Salt is often put on the sidewalk during or after it snows. This is because salt lowers the freezing point of ice. This is often just enough to melt snow at subfreezing temperatures.

Spreading sand over icy roads provides traction for vehicles by increasing friction between the tires and the road surface. This helps to reduce the likelihood of slipping and skidding, improving overall safety for drivers.
Yes, a chemical change occurs when salt is spread on icy roads. The salt dissolves in the moisture on the road and lowers the freezing point of the water, causing it to turn into a saltwater solution. This process facilitates the melting of the ice and helps to improve road safety.
it will melt
The dry sidewalk has more friction compared to the ice on the icy sidewalk
It is spelled "icy", as in "I slipped on the icy sidewalk."
Friction
Friction is the force that makes it less likely for a person to slip on a dry sidewalk compared to an icy sidewalk. Dry surfaces provide more friction between the shoe and the ground, allowing for better grip and stability. Ice reduces this friction, making it easier for a person's foot to slip.
Friction is the force that keeps you from sliding on an icy sidewalk. When you walk, the friction between the soles of your shoes and the ice surface prevents you from slipping.
We slid down the slope.
A liability hazard is any type of hazardous situation that can cause a lawsuit. One example of a liability hazard would be an icy sidewalk outside your home.
Pour sand over the ice.

Sand is dry and rough so it causes friction Hope this helps ! :)
