So, I know that the salt dissolves in the thin film of water on the surface of the ice, thus resulting in freezing point depression... but how exactly do i quantify this? Is there any effect on temperature? Will perhaps water be formed? Im tryna think of a way to measure the freezing point depression by adding salt to ice. Thanks in advance.

$\begingroup$ @NilayGhosh I dont quite understand - adding salt to ice has 2 effects: it lowers the freezing point of ice and it results in an endothermic reaction. i dont know to 2 reconcile these 2 things. $\endgroup$– Raze XIXSep 26, 2020 at 12:22

$\begingroup$ @NilayGhosh if salt causes the temp of ice to fall, how does this help prevent freezing/increase melting? $\endgroup$– Raze XIXSep 26, 2020 at 12:36
