Hello,
I am doing the "What makes ice melt the fastest" project. I'm not sure if I use iodized salt or not?
Thanks,
Elizabeth

Re: salt
Hi Elizabeth,
I'm assuming that you're working on the project described here:
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... lt-fastest
Iodized table salt contains only a tiny amount (less than 0.01%) of potassium iodide and it is very easy to find. Iodized salt should work just fine for this project.
I hope this helps. Please post again if you have more questions.
