Answer:

Explanation:

Ice forms when the temperature of water reaches 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius). When you add salt, that temperature drops: A 10-percent salt solution freezes at 20 °F (-6 °C), and a 20-percent solution freezes at 2 °F (-16 °C). On a roadway, this means that if you sprinkle salt on the ice, you can melt it.
