Ice melt is a staple in Canada and winter countries all around the world. But how does this salty wonder work? First let's compare with a real world example of ice speed melting, and then let's get into different ions and answer questions like "Does salt melt snow and ice? Pure water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius but the ions in salts get in the way
00:00 Intro into how ice salt works.
00:33 Testing the speed of ice melting with and without salt.
02:10 Checking the temperature of the liquid with and without ice melt.
03:06 How does salt melt ice? (freezing point depression)
