this is true and people a long time ago has already proved it. you might want to try it out yourself it is a fun experiment to see the ice fade into nothing!
It depends if its hot water but it will still melt faster in cold water tha the air.
An ice cube will melt faster in hot water compared to cold water or by itself. The higher temperature of the hot water transfers more heat energy to the ice cube, causing it to melt at a quicker rate.
An ice cube melts faster in salt water.
Test it.
Cold water.
No. Salt water melts faster because salt makes the freezing point lower (meaning that it makes it less frozen and the temperature higher) so it can melt faster. Why do you think people put salt on the sidewalk when it snows?
It's because THE TEMPERATURE of the water. The higher temperature the faster melts.
on its own
water. It has a higher temperature than iceEDIT:You would need some pretty special conditions for ice to melt when surrounded by more ice.An Ice Cube melts faster in water because water has a higher temperature than ice.The larger the difference in temperature between the ice and water, the faster the ice will melt.
Oh, dude, an ice cube melts faster in warm water, like obviously, because warm water has more energy to transfer to the ice cube, speeding up the melting process. Cold water would just be like, "Nope, not today, ice cube, I'm too chill for you." And hot water would be all like, "I'm too hot to handle, ice cube, I'm melting you whether you like it or not."
Yes.
An ice cube melts faster in water than in air due to water's higher thermal conductivity, allowing for quicker energy transfer from the water to the ice cube. In water, the ice cube is surrounded by a medium that is closer in temperature to the ice itself, facilitating faster melting.
