Effect Of Salt On Freezing Temperature Of Ice

Decent Essays

Ice is a very slippery solid form of water and salt usually used usually to melt the salt. The reason salt melts the ice is because salt lowers the temperature for freezing ice so as the salt covers the ice the freezing point of the ice gets lowered (Holt, Rinehart, And Winston 2004). What is the best salt for lowering the freezing temperature of ice. The independent variable is all the different salts we are using, the dependent variable is the time in minutes that it will take to melt the ice. The constant is that for each ice cube we will use 10 grams to melt each ice cube. The control is the time in minutes it will take to melt the salt if there is no salt.
In the experiment we believe that the magic salt will take the least amount of
