Yes, the number of ice cubes does affect the temperature of water. It does so in two ways. First, the greater the mass of ice cubes in the water, the greater the cooling effect.

But even if you have the same mass of ice - in one large cube or lots of small cubes, the water with more cubes will cool quicker. This is because there is a greater surface area. Although this will make no difference in the long term in a perfectly insulated container, in normal circumstances, there will be some heat gained through the surroundings and so there will be a tendency towards the ambient temperature. So the shorter term effect does matter.

Will a temperature of a beaker of water increase or decrease when its mixed with salt?

This is the typr of experiment that is performed with a 'Slurry' of ice and water in the beaker, and not just room temperature water. Adding salt to a slurry will cause some of the ice to melt. When ice melts, the temperature of the solution will drop, and potentially below the freezing point of pure water.If the water and salt are at room temperature, the mixing will yield no significant changes in temperature.


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


What happens to the temperature of water after an ice cube fully melts?

What state of matter does not show at room temperature?

Between solids, liquids, and gases, gases tend not to be observed at room temperature. For example, think about water - there's ice, water, and water vapor. We can see ice and water at room temperature, but water vapor can really only be seen on cold days, when you can see the water vapor from your breath condensing on dust particles in the air.
