Melting Ice
Research report

Water is very important .We need water to drink, to wash our hands, to cook, to water plants and many other things. Without water, the plants would die and people and animals would go thirsty.
What is water?
Water is made up of two hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom.
When these atoms come together, they form a strong bond that can’t be broken.

What is Table salt?
Sodium chloride
Designed for cooking
Has many ingredients 1. Potassium iodine- stabilizer 2. Glucose (sugar) - prevent the potassium iodine from breaking down. 3. Calcium silicate- anti-caking additive

What at Sea salt?
Used for cooking and cosmetics
A natural form of salt
Course grind (bigger chunks)
It’s extract from ocean water through evaporation process

What is sand?
Loose particle of hard broken rocks.
Normally brown in color
Found on beach

What is calcium chloride? another form of salt capable of absorbing a lot of liquid harmful to humans and live plants used to preserving commercial canned foods and removing ice from roadways
Conclusion
The purpose of my paper is to gain an understanding of water, how and why ice melts differently with table salt, sea salt, sand and calcium.

RESEARCH REPORTIntroductionWater is a liquid that freezes and also melts at 32*F (0*C). Melting and freezing points are temperatures when a solid substance turns to a liquid. Liquid is a substance that flows to fit its container.Water
Water is a liquid that is odorless, colorless, and tasteless. Water freezes and melts at 32*F (0*C). As water freezes it expands by one-eleventh. The amount of pressure on the water when it is freezing changes the melting point. Water that reaches 40*F it is at its maximum density. The molecules in water are always rapidly moving, until it gets cold and then they start slowing down. Water can be in three different forms: liquid,

    My hypothesis stated that I believed salts with a larger density will increase the temperature of the ice faster than salts with a smaller density because the heavier salts will sink through the ice faster since they have a heavier density than water and stop the molecules from staying ice faster, consequently raising the temperature of the solution, than lower density salts would. . The data I collected shows potassium chloride, which has a density of 1.98 g/㎤, increased the solution’s temperature at a faster rate than any of the other solutions. Using the data I collected, I can unequivocally state that my data did not support my hypothesis. Potassium chloride had the fifth highest density out of the seven salts I used in my experiment. The highest density salt I used, sodium carbonate, had no change in temperature. I do not think there were any outliers in my data because none of the temperatures of the salts went beyond a range of 6°C.…

    The melting point of a compound is the temperature at which the solid is in equilibrium with its liquid. A solid compounds changes to a liquid when the molecules acquire enough energy to overcome the forces holding them together. A mixture melting point is useful in confirming and used to indentify an unknown compound, which we will be doing in this particular experiment.…

    Frozen Ice Lab Report

    When liquid water is cooled, it contracts like one would expect until a temperature of approximately 4 degrees Celsius is reached. After that, it expands slightly until it reaches the freezing point, and then when it freezes it expands by approximately 9%.Solidification, also known as freezing, is a phase change of matter that results in production of a solid. Generally, this occurs when the temperature of a liquid is lowered below its freezing point. Frozen soda can explosions are not due directly to water expanding as it freezes, but to the resulting pressure put on an isolated pocket of C02. A boy in China who tried to chill a soda in the freezer wound up with 38 stitches when the can exploded in his face, according to Rocket News 24. This causes forces of attraction between the molecules called hydrogen bonds. When the water is frozen the structure contains holes because the hydrogen bonds hold the molecules apart from each other. ... This means that the molecules are close together and so liquid water is denser than…

    Road salt does not allow the ice or snow to adhere to the pavement and form a hard pack. Sodium chloride can readily depress the freezing point of ice, so that the ice starts melting. Salt crystals can pull water molecules from ice crystals to form brine. The formation of brine facilitates the process of meting of ice. However, the rate of melting depends upon the temperature at that time. At temperatures below 15° F, sodium chloride cannot form solution efficiently; hence its efficiency is reduced. In fact, even if…
