KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Through weeks of testing and research it was determined that pink himalayan salt melts ice the fastest.

Detailed explanation-2: -Salt, baking soda, and sugar will all act to lower the freezing point of the ice, making it melt quicker than the untouched ice cube. Sand is another common substance that may be seen on the roadway. In fact, it is not used to melt ice, but rather for traction for shoes or cars.

Detailed explanation-3: -Salt water freezes at a lower temperature than the 32 degrees F at which freshwater freezes. The difference between the air temperature and the freezing point of salt water is bigger than the difference between the air temperature and the freezing point of freshwater. This makes the ice with salt on it melt faster.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sodium chloride also known as rock salt, is the most common deicing salt. Calcium chloride is another de-icing salt. Potassium chloride is not a skin irritant and does not harm vegetation. Magnesium chloride is the newest deicing salt.
