When eggplants are sprinkled with salt, the salt draws out water through a process called osmosis. The salt creates a concentration gradient, causing water to move from the eggplant's cells into the surrounding environment to balance the concentration. This process not only reduces bitterness but also helps to improve the texture by making the eggplant less spongy and more suitable for cooking.
nothing, it's only effective when salt is sprinkled ON the ice.
because the salt absorbs the water so that it dehydrates and dies
Salt is hygroscopic, meaning it attracts water. When salt is sprinkled on a salad, it draws out moisture from the vegetables through a process called osmosis. This loss of water can make the salad appear wilted or soggy.
salt melts all ice thus clearing the roads for transport
Salt is sprinkled on the roads in cold countries during winter to lower the freezing point of water, preventing the formation of ice. This helps to make the roads safer for drivers by providing better traction and reducing the risk of accidents due to slippery conditions.

It Sweats
Salt doesn't really absorb water, it just pulls out the liquid. This happens with everything, not just eggplants. It has to do with osmosis. That's a chemistry term and not necessarily a cooking term. And there is additional information in the WikiAnswers section on chemistry.
yes Not all salt. There are salt mines all over the world where most of our salt comes from.
