I tried google but all I get is crap about salt lowering the melting point of water.
Salt crystallizes in a cubic pattern, and usually has a cubic appearance in hand specimens. The melting point of salt is 800E C. It dissolves easily in cold water and a little more readily in hot water. Common salt, when mixed with ice, lowers the melting point of the ice, making it melt. Salt is thus used on ice covered streets, so people or cars will not slip.

i'm not sure, but i don't think salt melts.
Melting Point:1472°F (800°C)

I tried melting potassium chloride once...that one was a real biyatch. I ingested it and then told the teacher it was melted to get credit for the assignment.
