How does the addition of salt to solid ice affect the melting transition from solid to liquid?



Answer :

Final answer:

Adding salt to solid ice lowers its melting point due to interference with hydrogen bonds.


Explanation:

When salt is added to solid ice, it interferes with the hydrogen bonds holding the ice together. This disruption lowers the melting point of the ice. The presence of salt causes the ice to melt at a temperature below 0°C.
