  1. Sodium chloride or salt is used to clear snow on roads and is also used in ice creams i.e. to keep it solid. In both the cases, the salt works by lowering the melting or freezing point of water.
  2. Salt melts ice by lowering the freezing point of the water around the ice. The ice melts because we are introducing dissolved foreign particles into the water. The freezing point of water becomes lower and this is called freezing point depression. The ice is unable to re-freeze except at a much lower temperature.
