Salt lowers the freezing point of water, causing ice to melt. When salt is added to ice, it disrupts the balance between the solid and liquid states of water, making it harder for ice to stay frozen. This allows the ice to melt at a lower temperature than it normally would.

Which will melt first an ice cube or an ice cube with salt on it and why?

Ice cube with salt. The salt disrupts the lattice formation in the ice, lowering the melting temperature. As the salt melts ice, the surface area exposed to the salt increases, further perpetuationg the reaction.

Will ice melt faster baking soda salt or ice itself?

Ice will melt faster with salt than with baking soda. Salt lowers the freezing point of water, making it easier for the ice to melt. Baking soda, on the other hand, does not have the same effect on melting ice as salt.


Will more salt or less salt that will make the ice melt faster?

In theory, the more salt you add to ice, the more you lower its melting point and the more ice will melt.
