yes
ice melt at 0 degrees and water freeze at the same temperature because it cool like that. xDThe real answer is because molecules of ice are constantly escaping into the water (melting), and molecules of water are being captured on the surface of the ice (freezing).
no
Yes, but the larger the amount of water, the longer it will take for it to freeze.
Yes, it does. What makes the difference is called the heat of fusion.
Assuming they are the same temperature, the ice will melt faster in water, due to water's high specific heat.
The temperature of the water and the temperature of the air would have to be factors in the answer. EDIT: Assuming the air and water are the same temperature, it would melt much faster in water. The thermal conduction is much higher.
neither it will stay the same
It would depend on the temperature difference.
No. Carbonated will melt in a shorter time than water. Carbonated drinks have dissolved carbonic acid in them, which will lower the freezing point. (This is similar to how adding salt to ice makes it melt at a lower temperature.) So, if two solutions are frozen at the same temperature and then thawed at the same temperature, the carbonated drink will melt first.
no, because if you put saltwater and freshwater in the freezer saltwater will not freeze completely ,because it has salt in it and it will not freeze at the same rate as freshwater that is my answer to this question.
Technically it's still cold, but not enough to freeze to be icecream.
The hot water will get colder and the ice will melt and the water from the melted ice will get to the same temperature as the final temperature of the hot water.
