water. the higher density of molicules allows for a greater transfer of heat energy. Think chiken on counter vs. chicken in bowl of water on counter.

Ice will melt faster in room temperature air than in room temperature water due to the difference in thermal conductivity. Air is a poorer conductor of heat than water, which means that heat transfer occurs more slowly in air compared to water. Therefore, ice will melt more quickly in room temperature air.

No heat so it cant melt like the warm water. they are the same temp/.


Does ice melt faster in room temp water or room temp air?

Ice melts faster in air. The process of melting needs energy. This energy will be taken from the environment in the form of heat. The water around the ice will be cooled by the melting and therefore slow the process. The same happens in the air, but the cooling will be dispersed more quickly and so the effect is much weaker.

In a cooler would ice melt faster if left in the 32deg F water or drained to be exposed to room temp air?

i would vote on draining because you have a warmer substance and more surface area.


Will an ice cube melt faster in salt water or tap water?

Assuming this is performed at a constant temp and pressure, it would melt faster in salt water because the Na+ and Cl- molecules can temper with the orientation of water molecules in ice more than the minerals that exist in tap water can.


What will happen when heat is added to water that is room temp?

The water will get hotter. Its molecules will move faster, and the temperature goes up.
