4. Snow removal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_removal

   The salt, via freezing point depression, helps melt the snow and ice and also gives vehicles more traction. Later, usually when the snow has ceased falling, snow plows, front end loaders with snowplow attachments, and graders cover every street pushing snow to the side of the road. Salt trucks often then return to deal with any remaining ice ...

9. Salt and ice challenge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_and_ice_challenge

   The ions in sodium chloride (table salt) are heavily influenced by the molecular polarizability of the ice. [7] The difference between the spacing of the electrons in the table salt and ice causes this reaction. The melting point of ice is decreased due to the incorporation of table salt and this then causes a binding of the two substances. The ...
