Which dissolves faster in water, table salt or crushed salt?

Best Answers

Table salt is faster, because it is much finer (typically less than 0.5mm diameter) so there is greater contact between the ice and the salt. Rock salt is generally preferred for de-icing because as well as some fine salt, it has particles typically up to 5mm. read more
