At 32 degrees the ice cubes would need be of larger volume than the water. At lower temperatures they would need less mass to create an average water temperature that is frozen.

Why do ice cubes stick together at times?
A cold glass of water sometimes causes water vapour from the surrounding air to condense onto the surface of the glass. The same thing happens with ice cubes, but instead the water droplets condensing on the surface, they will instantly freeze and 'weld' ice cubes together. They also can stick together if put into a drink, where again, the water in the drink near the surface of the ice cube may get cold enough to freeze and cause the ice cubes to fuse together.
Why do ice cubes float in drinks and water?
Because ice cubes are less dense than water.
What will happen to a ice cube if its stays in a glass of water?
Some of the water will form ice crystals. Note that NOT ALL of the water will freeze, since LATENT HEAT OF FUSION will raise the temperature of the water slightly as the ice forms. It may be a little difficult to comprehend, and often quite a bit of time is spent on this subject when it is discussed in a physics or chemistry class.
What is inside reusable ice cubes?
water
Why do ice cubes pop when they are put in water?
The sound of the popping comes from the ice cube shattering or cracking. The liquid that the ice cubes are dropped into is warmer than the cubes, so the cube startes to warm, which causes the ice to expand, making it crack and hence the popping sound.
Will ice cubes freeze larger if hot water is used?
no it will not
Would ice cubes melt in hot water first or will the ice cubes freeze the water first?
If you put ice cubes in a bowl or whatever of hot water, the ice cube is sure to melt when put so says science.
Will tap water freeze?
yeah, did you ever make ice cubes before? you use tap water.
what are commercial ice supplies?
Commercial Ice Supplies are products that freeze water and change it into ice cubes. The products often have many settings and can maker larger ice blocks, crushed ice, and ice cubes.

How does temperature of water affect the time it takes to freeze into ice cubes?
because it depens in the temperature of the ?
How do you turn a block of ice into cubes without breaking it?
Melt the block, fill an ice cube tray with the water then freeze the ice cube tray.
Can ice cubes explode?
Not really they can freeze, but that is about all
Are ice cubes water in liquid state?
Ice cubes are solid water.
What melts faster water ice cubes or soda ice cubes?
Water :)
Who do you make a slushy magic ice cube?
its just salt water in the ice cubes, so you can put it in a bag then freeze it. it works the same way
Why do rivers and lakes not freeze easily?
While water is moving, its temperatue can drop below zero and it doesn't freeze. Obviously, faster moving rivers are less likely to freeze. For lakes, water's unique density behaviour protects them from freezing. Unlike almost all substances, the solid form of water (ice) is less dense than the liquid form. Ice cubes float. (For almost all other substances, the "cubes" would sink.) So when lakes freeze, the ice stays at the top. This insulates the remaining water from the colder air above. If ice cubes sank, then lakes could freeze all the way to the bottom: the ice that formed would fall to the bottom, continually exposing the top water to the cold air.
