Answer:

It's true

Step-by-step explanation:

An example can be observed when the people add salt on the road surface to avoid icing. The salt water mixture is frozen at approximately a temperature of -21°C and not at a temperature of 0°C as it would be in the case of water. Salt when dissolved in water releases heat, thereby contributing to defrost ice. This is the same principle that is used for car antifreeze, which is to lower the freezing point.
