What are the benefits of people spreading salt on icy roads and sidewalks during cold winters?
Salt causes the ice to melt, because it lowers the freezing point of the water.
Salt increases the mass of the ice, allowing it not be as slippery.
Salt increases the boiling point of the ice, making it turn into a liquid.
Salt increases the freezing point, because it solidifies the ice on the ground.
