That depends on the temperature of the water and the alternate medium, air I suppose. If the water is 33 degrees F and the air is 600 deg. F it would last longer in the water. At 212 deg F water and 33 deg air it would last longer in the air.
If both are at the same temperature it will melt faster in water.
Water has a higher temperature in ice causing it to melt faster.
Ice melts faster in water
An ice cube will melt faster in hot water.
Water /)/) (-.-) (")(")
Salt water will melt an ice cube faster than flour water. This is because salt lowers the freezing point of water, causing the ice to melt more quickly. Flour water does not lower the freezing point significantly, so it will melt ice at a slower rate.
ANSWER: Ice melts faster because water doesn't melt.
The heat from the hot water is transferred to the ice, making the ice heat faster, thus causing it to return to room temperature faster, making it melt faster.
the water may be a warmer temperature than the air. why does ice melt faster in water than in air
Ice cubes don't faster in cold water because the temparature of cold water is low, ice cubes melt faster in high temparature.
Ice will melt faster in water because water is a better conductor of heat compared to air from a blow dryer. The water provides a more consistent and efficient way to transfer heat to the ice, causing it to melt faster.
