Salt. Salt dissolves in water, and causes the freezing point to fall; this causes the ice to melt. Sugar does not have this effect, and chalk doesn't dissolve in water.

What is the hypothesis of this question what makes ice melt the fastest sand salt sugar or sugar?

You need to determine what you think will melt the fastest, and that will be your hypothesis. If you think that pepper will melt it faster, you would say "My hypothesis is that the pepper will melt ice faster than the other variables (sand, salt, and sugar)."

What makes ice melt faster table salt sugar sand or pepper?

Table salt makes ice melt faster. Salt lowers the freezing point of water, causing ice to melt by dissolving into the liquid water and disrupting the hydrogen bond between water molecules. Sugar, sand, and pepper do not have the same effect on ice melting as salt.


What makes ice melt faster sugar sandpepper or salt?

Salt makes ice melt faster than sugar, pepper, or sand. This is because salt lowers the freezing point of water, causing the ice to melt by creating a brine solution that is colder than the surrounding ice. Sugar and pepper will not melt ice as effectively as salt due to their chemical compositions. Sand does not impact the melting rate of ice because it does not lower the freezing point of water.

SALT DOESNT MELT THE ICE IT JUST LOWERS THE FREEZING POINTWell Salt Does Make Ice Melt Faster :) I made the project and my result were correct SALT melts ice faster :)


Why does sand melt ice faster than salt?

salt reduces the tempature at which ice freezes


Why do sand take longer to melt ice then salt?

The reason why it takes sand to melt ice longer than salt does, is because salt draws or absorbs the moisture in the ice faster than sand that just has a rough texture. Yes, there is salt particles in sand but not as much as normal salt by itself.


Why does table salt melt ice faster than sugar pepper or sand?

Actually salt does make it melt faster. And of course it lowers the melting point, hence why it melts. When you add salt to an ice cube the salt immediately begins to dissolve, the ionic bonds break to form bonds with the water. (water has strong negative and positive points on it). Because the interaction is stronger than the interaction to stay as a solid the ice releases energy as heat given off melting until it hits a cold enough temperature to freeze again.
