How does sprinking of salt help in clearing the snow covered roads in hilly areas? Explain the phenomenon involved in the process.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When salt is spread over snow covered roads, snow starts melting from the surface because depression of freezing point of water takes place due to addition of salt. It helps in clearing of roads.
