How does ice melt work? Let's experiment the science and stuff.

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

Mountaineering in winter, I sometimes use a small bottle to gather some snow in, and store it in my warm pocket - so it melts and I can drink it. This video makes me think I could bring some small packages of salt and mix them with the snow in the bottle for even better results.

Awesome stuff! Definitely one of my favorite topics.

Another wonderful video and fantastic explanation, we will be reviewing this one with our child when we do the homemade ice cream experiment here soon so now he can understand why it works!

Huh, another thing I didn't know I didn't know!

It's friggorific!
