Salt just lowers the freezing point of water. It makes it so it has to be colder for snow to stick. It will not melt snow that is already there. In fact it will just make it harder.
Snow salt, also known as rock salt or ice melt, is a type of salt used to melt snow and ice on roads, sidewalks, and other surfaces. It works by lowering the freezing point of water, causing the ice to melt more quickly. Snow salt is commonly spread before or during snowfall to prevent the buildup of ice.
During the dissolution in water sodium chloride release the heat of solution.
Usually salt.
yes they do melt faster like you know in the winter how you put salt out in the snow and it melts the snow,well that proves it

The time it takes for salt to melt snow depends on various factors, including the type of salt used, the temperature, and the thickness of the snow. Generally, salt begins to melt snow almost immediately upon contact, but it may take several minutes to hours for the snow to completely melt.
no the salt only makes the snow melt faster
yes it is
You can salt your yard.

How cool is it that I found this question? I did this for my science project. Yes, it does matter. People in the north melt snow all the time with salt. I did an experiment (a common one, but I had a good reason to do it) and it proved that salt keeps the water around it from freezing as fast, and helps it melt slower. The formula is a big deal. This actually has a bit to do with global warming. Salt from oceans (and the Great Salt Lake) eventually get to places where snow falls often, and it melts more snow than what is supposed to be melted. Pretty neat, huh?
Salt lowers the freezing point of water, which causes ice and snow to melt. When salt is applied to ice or snow, it forms a solution with the water, making it harder for ice to form and easier for existing ice to melt.
Salt lowers the freezing point of water, causing the snow and ice to melt more quickly. The rate at which the snow melts with salt depends on various factors such as the temperature, amount of salt applied, and the type of snow/ice. However, in general, it can start to melt within minutes to hours after applying salt.
