the temperature of ice cubes are lower than the temperature of the water around them. The heat energy from the water is used up in the process of melting the ice, so the water temperature drops.

What would be the temperature of water at room temperature after 4 ice cubes are added in and melted after 2 hours?
Room temperature
Does rain water boil at lower temperature than sea water?
Rain water would normally boil at a slightly lower temperature than sea water, assuming the rain water has fewer dissolved particles in it compared to sea water.
Are ice cubes are source of water in areas with poor water supplies?
Well I think that if they have poor water supply they will not be making ice cubes. Although In the case that someone is providing ice cubes it would have to be a large amount.
Would ice cubes melt in hot water first or will the ice cubes freeze the water first?
If you put ice cubes in a bowl or whatever of hot water, the ice cube is sure to melt when put so says science.
What happens when a glass of water at room temperature is placed in the refrigerator?
That would depend on three main factors: 1) The Initial Temperature of the glass of water 2) The temperature of the room 3) Time Additional Factors that could influence what happens: 1) Proximity to a heat source 2) Temperature of the surface the glass is sitting on 3) Lighting 4) Color of the glass 5) Type of glass 6) Shape of glass Heat always moves from a hotter area (higher energy) to areas that are cooler (lower energy), the outcome of the glass of water, will primarily depend on the temperature of the room and the temperature of the water. IF: The temperature of the water is lower then the temperature of the room then the glass of water will get warmer. I.e. the ice cubes in a glass of coke melting during a hot summer's day at the beach. IF: The temperature of the water is higher than that of the room temperature then the glass of water will get cooler. I.e. a glass of water freezing when set out side in the middle of winter in Antarctica. The other factors will mainly dictate how fast or slow the temperature change will occur. The temperature of the water will approach the air temperature.
Does ice water or ice cubes cool lemonade faster?
If the initial temperature of the lemonade is equal for both the water and the ice then the cubes would cool lemonade faster because they have a lower initial temperature.
Can ice cubes freeze water?
At 32 degrees the ice cubes would need be of larger volume than the water. At lower temperatures they would need less mass to create an average water temperature that is frozen.
What would be the temperature of water at room temperature after 4 ice cubes are added in and melted after 2 hours?
Room temperature
Do ice cubes melt faster in or outside water?
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.
How does vapour pressure of supercooled water compare with that of ice at the same temperature?
It would be lower.
Does rain water boil at lower temperature than sea water?
Rain water would normally boil at a slightly lower temperature than sea water, assuming the rain water has fewer dissolved particles in it compared to sea water.
How cold is a glass of ice water?
A mixture of ice and water will always have a temperature of exactly 0°C (32°F). Whether it is ice melting or water freezing, the temperature stays at that temperature until all of the water is frozen or all of the ice is molten. As soon as it is only water or only ice it can start to become warmer or colder respectively.The temperature of water with ice cubes will be 0 degrees Celsius under normal conditions. The ice cubes will cool the water down the its freezing point, at which time there will be an equilibrium between liquid water an ice. Of course, ice cubes chilled by extraordinary means (ie liquid nitrogen) may very well freeze the water solid.
When do ice cubes melt?
it would depend on the temperature of the room. at 21*c it would melt in 15minutes

What will melt faster frozen milk or frozen water?
In general, water with stuff dissolved in it has a lower freezing temperature than pure water. Milk is just water with stuff (fats, sugars, proteins) dissolved in it so it's freezing temperature should be lower than 0 degrees Celsius (the freezing temperature of water).Therefore, if you started with both frozen milk and frozen water at say -10 degrees Celsius and started slowly heating them both, the frozen milk will start thawing (melting) before the frozen water.
Why do ice cubes float at the top of the water?
The density of ice is lower than that of water. As a result a block of ice, if wholly submerged in water, would displace a mass of water greater than its own mass. The difference between these two masses provides the upward buoyancy.
