This depends on the volume and temperature of the water. Assuming we're talking about a glass of room temperature water, the ice cube should melt more quickly if left out of the water. This is because as the cube melts, it has a greater effect on cooling the temperature of the water than it would the air in a room.

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
Does ice melt faster in cold or hot water with many definitions?
It melts faster in cold
Will saltwater ice melt faster than freshwater ice?
No. Salt water melts faster because salt makes the freezing point lower (meaning that it makes it less frozen and the temperature higher) so it can melt faster. Why do you think people put salt on the sidewalk when it snows?
What would melt faster a normal ice cube or a sea water ice cube?
A sea water ice cube -- Because the melting point of sea water is lower than that of normal water.
Why does it usually take long for an ice cube to melt?
There are a few factors as to why an ice cube takes its time in melting. The main factors are the size of the ice and the temperature of its surroundings. The larger the piece of ice, the longer it takes to melt. This is because the ice itself is very cold and it takes a while for the temperature to completely melt the whole cube. If it is very small, it is subject to faster melting because the temperature melts the small amount of water easier. The other main factor is the temperature, the closer the temperature is to 0° C, the faster it will melt. There are also other factors like the other contents of the cube, time spent in and out of cold area and even air pressure but those seem irrelevant to this specific answer. Assuming this ice cube is normal sized in room temperature, the reason for the long time would be the fact that the room is around 60-70° F and it takes a while for the ice cube to adjust to the temperature and be affected by it. Once the high temperature of the room act on the below freezing ice cube, they will raise the ice cube's temperature to 0° C and it fully melts. Other Answer: It depends on how big the ice cube is and on the temperature in the room or out side. for example: If i have an ice cube and i set it out side in the snow it will melt it will just take longer because its very cold out side. Or..... If i have an ice cube and i set it in 90 degree weather it will melt a lot faster than in the snow.
Do ice cube melt faster in water or air brief description of project?
if it is hot water it tends to melt faster but if it is cold water it wont melt quickly
Does an ice cube melt faster in warm water than cold water?
Yes.
Will flour water or salt water melt an ice cube faster?
Salt water will melt an ice cube faster.
Does an a ice cube melts faster in air or water?
It depends if its hot water but it will still melt faster in cold water tha the air.
Does an ice cube melt faster in hot chocolate or hot water?
An ice cube will melt faster in hot water.
Would a sugar cube melt fast in a cold cup of water?
No, it wouldn't. a sugar cube would melt a lot faster in a cup of Hot water. the hot water helps it desolve more evenly than cold water.
Does an ice cube melt faster in soapy or salt water?
An ice cube melts faster in salt water.
Why does ice cubes melt faster in hot water than in cold water?
because atoms in hot water vibrate faster, and cold water vibrates slower, hence movement generates heat, heat speeds up the ice cube's atoms, as the ice cube's atoms speed up it begins to expand, spread out it's mass and melt.
Does an ice cube melt faster in water or in salted water?
salted water.
Does an ice cube melt faster in oil or water?

Will ice cube melt faster in pop or water?
Yes
What happens when you squeeze ice?
Your hand will get cold and the ice cube will get warmer faster. That helps it melt faster.
