yes they do. the sun is so hot in the desert therefore they can melt within 30 seconds.

However it also gets very, very cold at night, this may keep the ice cube from melting.

What causes alcohol to melt ice cubes?

There is nothing special about alcohol -- anything that is in contact with ice that is warmer than 0 °C will melt ice cubes (as long as the mass of warm object is comparable to the mass of the ice -- obviously a cup of warm water won't melt the ice on an entire lake for instance).When two objects of different temperatures are put in contact (as when you put ice cubes in a drink), the warmer one will always transfer heat to the cooler one. If the warmer one transfers enough heat to melt the ice cubes, then they melt! If not, they might just partially melt.It's actually possible to add ice cubes to alcohol and not have them melt at all! The freezing point of alcohol is well below 0 °C, and so you can have liquid alcohol be much colder than frozen ice cubes. If you add an ice cube to alcohol that is colder than the ice cube, the ice cube will be cooled by the alcohol!


How do you know if ice cubes reach room temperature?

At room temperature an ice cube...is rapidly melt. It is impossible for the ice to have the room temperature (ca. 20 0C) at normal pressure.


What would happen if you placed a couple of ice cubes in a cup of hot tea?

Do melting ice cubes cause liquids to rise?

No. As ice cubes float, they displace the same volume of water that they contain. This is known as Archimedes' Principle. If they melt, the water level will stay exactly the same. Try it yourself by adding an ice cube to a glass and marking the water level. After the ice melts, you will see that there has been no change in the water level.

What will happen to the ice cubes if it was in water?

The ice cube will melt faster if it was previously dunked in water. Ice cubes will melt when they are placed in liquid since water temperature is higher than that of ice.
