does salt melt ice as it does for snow?

Answer 1

Yes. Adding salt to frozen water lowers the melting point.

Consider that snow and ice are really the same thing, in different mass quantities - water in solid state due to ambient temperature.

Best to you.

Answer 2

Yes of course:
Salt lowers the freezing/melting point of water, so in both cases the idea is to take advantage of the lower melting point.
Ice forms when the temperature of water reaches 0 degrees Celsius. When you add salt, that temperature drops: A 10-percent salt solution freezes at -6 C, and a 20-percent solution freezes at -16 C. On a roadway, this means that if you sprinkle salt on the ice, you can melt it. The salt dissolves into the liquid water in the ice and lowers its freezing point.

Answer 3

yes ice is just frozen water and the city puts salt on the road to keep the road from becoming too icy so salt melts ice lol you can try it if you want just take some salt and an ice cube then put the salt on the ice and see what happens to it

Answer 4

Yes, it does. They put salt on local streets to melt the ice, so it's safer to drive on. It's pretty bad on cars though, never buy a car that has to winter where there is ice & snow.

Answer 5

Yes. If u hold on tight to a piece of ice with salt all over it will hurt your hand and the salt will melt fast.

Answer 6

Salt does not actually melt H2O. It does, however, lower the freezing point of water causing it to revert back to a liquid state.

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

Yes, because snow is ice.

Answer 9

yes. i'm pretty sure it has something to do with salt lowering the freezing point of ice.

Answer 10

Yes. Snow IS ice.
