This cool salty ice experiment shows how you can make an ice cube melt quickly by lowering the freezing temperature.

Salty Ice Experiment 

What you need:

  • 2 ice cubes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 bowls

How to Melt an Ice Cube Quickly:

Place one ice cube in each bowl.

Salty Ice Experiment 1

Sprinkle the salt onto one of the ice cubes. Leave the other ice cube along.

Watch the ice cubes melt. Which one melts first?

Salty Ice Experiment 2

How long does it take for the ice to melt?

 

How does this work?

Water usually has a freezing temperature of 0˚C (32˚F) but when you add the salt, it lowers this temperature. This means that to stay frozen, instead of having a temperature of 0˚C (32˚F), it now needs to have a much colder (lower) temperature. Due to sitting at room temperature this is not possible, so the ice melts. The one with the salt melts quicker.
