Does a cup of water with ice stay colder than a cup of water with no ice?

Coldness is a lack of heat energy, so, if you take two cups of water under the same conditions, add ice to one of them, and add the same amount of room-temperature water to the other, the cup with ice will have less heat energy. However, the environment around it will eventually heat up that cup, so they will both be the same temperature.


How do you get an ice cube to sink?

Ice can't sink hunny :) It is less dense then water (density= 1.0) and therefore, it can only float, not ever sink.


Will ice float in ether?

No. It will sink because ice is denser than ether, and denser things sink to the bottom. Ice has a density of 0.9167 g/ml and ether has a density of 0.736 g/ml.


If a block of ice has the density of 0.97gcm3 how much of it will sink below the water?

97% will sink below the water
