Melting of an ice cube mainly depends on the temperature of surrounding.
If the larger ice cube is put at 50 degrees Celsius and small one at 25 degree Celsius the large ice cube will melt faster than the smaller one.
Ice cube draws energy from the surrounding which causes it to melt and so temperature of surrounding is very important

∙ 13y agoIf the temperature and humidity are constant, then no. The melt speed is the same no matter the size of the cube.
If the rate of melting is dependent on the surface area of the cube then the rate of melting (volume/second) would get slower.
If the rate of melting is dependent on the volume of the cube then (again) the rate of melting would get slower.
If the rate of melting is dependent on a constant energy transfer, then the rate of melting (volume/second) would remain constant.

∙ 14y agobecause the smaller ice cube has less mass than the larger ice cube.

∙ 13y agono, because ice cubes are already frozen!

Could you continue breaking an ice cube into smaller and smaller pieces of ice?
Yes, and no. You could keep breaking, and breaking an ice cube, but eventually it would melt.
Does an ice cube melt faster on soil?
No, an ice cube doesn't melt faster in soil.
Does Ice cubes melt in the Sahara?
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.
If a rock gets a hot enough it will?
it will melt
Why did the ice cube directly under the light melt faster when it had no cover than when it was covered with aluminum foil?
The aluminum foil reflected the rays of the light, so without the foil the ice cube couldn't reflect any of the light's rays and that made it melt faster
Does the eviorment effect how an ice cube melt?
Yes, the warmer the air temperature of the environment the quicker the ice cube melts. Also, ice in a warm fluid environment will melt quicker than ice at the equivalent air temperature.
Why does an ice cube melt and change shape when its taken out of the freezer?
it gets hot and melt
Does a larger ice cube melt faster than a smaller ice cube in the same surrounding?
Snot
Which would melt faster an ice cube of water or an ice cube of Coca-Cola?
a ice cube in alcohol would melt fastest because of the heating molecules contracting with the ice cube molecules
Could you continue breaking an ice cube into smaller and smaller pieces of ice?
Yes, and no. You could keep breaking, and breaking an ice cube, but eventually it would melt.
Can you keep breaking an ice cube into smaller and smaller pieces?
It is a yes and no question because you can keep breaking it down but eventually it will melt.
What happens if you melt an ice cube?
it will become water If you melt an ice cube it will melt
How does the size of an ice cube affect its melting?
Depending on the difference and the temperature and circumference
Why would an ice cube with material it round melt quicker than a ice cube with nothing round it?
The ice cube in contact with other materials has somewhere to pass it's energy to. The ice cube in isolation retains it's heat as the heat has nowhere to disperse to.
Does hot water melt ice quicker than cold water?
it does melt it quicker i checked
Does ice melt fast in room temperature or with salt?
It all depends on how much ice and where it is. Ice will melt quicker in water at room temperature than in the air and a large block of ice will take longer to melt than an ice cube
How fast does an ice cube melt when sugar or salt is added?
Well it really depends on the quantity But i know for a fact that salt will dissolve it quicker than sugar
