This is really good stuff! Thanks for making this! Could you make a second part to talk about why it becomes colder afterwards even though the ice melts initially? That will be great! Cheers man!

Hi,
Know this is an old vid, but doesn't salt (brine NaCl aq) work all the way down to negative 21 degrees celsius. If you check out the phase diagram for H3O NaCl.

Came here to see it, no matter how boring it is watching ice melt

[davidjr]

Salt doesn’t melt the ice, but it does throw off the equilibrium.

[JesusIzLord]

It doesn't melt ice it prevents it from forming .

Why is my teacher making me watch this ??

[zomyaalt]

Well imma be plaigarising this for my chemistry project and you cant do anything about it(hopefully)






p.s sorry pls

[alantran]

Yo salt, that ain't cool! Those molecules were just trying to bond!

[Kissaki]

So, how does salt increase the boiling point of water?

I don't get it, why you don't have like thousand of views on your videos... Seriosly... I know quite similar channel on Polish YT, that is learning science in funny and interesting way and it has like 300 000 views (it's called SciFun). What's the reason? Aren't people in America interested in science? Anyway, great job Coma Niddy, you've got cool videos!
Btw, thanks for explaining Purnkinji Effect, that video brought me here :)
