Calcium Chloride, CaCl2 or pure calcium. It makes the best exothermic reation which melts the ice better. Salt is actually a poor ice melt when compared to others and it's bad for the environment, yet it is still widely used because it is so inexpensive.

The process in which sedimentary material slows down or from ice that melts?

The process in which moving sedimentary material slows down or from ice that melts is known as deposition. Most metamorphic sedimentary rocks are formed through this process.


The process in which moving sedimentary material slows down or from ice that melts?

The process you are describing is called deposition. When sedimentary material is carried by ice and then melts, the sediment is deposited or dropped in a new location. This can lead to the formation of new landforms, such as moraines or eskers.

How does the material of the container affect its melting time of the ice?

The material of the container affects the rate at which heat is transferred to the ice. Materials with higher thermal conductivity, like metal, will melt the ice faster as they transfer heat more efficiently than materials with lower thermal conductivity, like plastic or Styrofoam. So, a metal container will lead to faster melting of ice compared to a plastic or foam container.


What is in salt that melts ice?

It is the salt itself that melts ice.


What substance melts ice most efficiently sugar salt pepper or artificial sweetener?

== == Salt lowers the freezing point of water by 32 degrees. If salt is sprinkled onto ice, it causes the ice to melt by a heat transfer. Out of the substances listed, salt would melt ice most efficiently.


What is unsorted rock material that is deposited by ice when the ice melts?

The unsorted rock material deposited by ice when it melts is called glacial till. Glacial till can vary in size from clay to boulders and is typically a mixture of rock types that were picked up and carried by the moving glacier.

Does the volume of ice changes when ice melts?

Yes the volume of ice changes when the ice melts. In fact the volume of ice goes on increasing up to 0 degree Celsius and when the ice melts completely the volume of ice decreases on the contrary. Yes because when ice freezes, it expands and when it melts, it gets smaller.
