Can chil sauce or tabasco sauce melt ice?
Answers:
it won't hurt to try it. pour some tabasco on ice, and see if it'll melt.
Sure, about as much as ketchup can.
the same as anyother liquid can. But it is hot to your tastebuds, not to touch.
Only if it's above freezing temperature.
The "heat' you're feeling is actually chemicals in the chili or sauce that are irritating the skin of your mouth and tongue -- it's not actually generating any warmth.
they will not melt ice any better than some other liquid.
The heat of hot sauce is from Capsaicin not thermal heat.
Tabasco will, but not for the reason you're expecting.
Chiles (and the sauce made from them) do not generate any heat -- the active chemical in them, called capsaicin, simply excites the nerve endings in the human body (and other mammals, apparently) that respond to heat. But it's all a big fake -- there's no actual heat involved.
However, because Tabasco sauce is made with crushed chiles, vinegar, and salt, the salt will melt ice -- but it will make it colder.
try it.but probably no.it's not really "hot" it just tastes that way.
Yes, if for no other reason than both have salt in them.
Maybe - I saw hot sauce melt a contact lens once
dunno , hot Q. , probably will , esp. if the sauce is'nt too cold
They can if you boil them first

try this lind and search freezing point depression. Would make a great science fair project for middle school.
The answer is yes and some of the answers are right on the idea that salt is present, but also any disolved solute will lower the freezing point and therefore make ice melt,
could be salt, sugar, vinegar, alum, baking soda. also good items to test for the science fair.
why do you think ice cream melts at a temperature below 32 degrees? ( why does frost condense on an ice cream carton even though the icecream is getting soft?)
Sure, it has acid and stuff like E123, E245 and stuff.
Doh, just try it and see
no more than ordinary water will
