How does the type of liquid affect how fast the liquid will melt?

Answer 1

Different substances all have different freezing points as part of their elemental properties, and compounds and mixtures also exhibit their own melting points. As such he contents of the liquid can greatly effect the freezing point of a substance.

Answer 2

Actually, the type of liquid does affect it. Take juice, water,and soda for example. The soda will melt ice the fastest because it has acid, the acid will melt the ice faster than all the others.

Answer 3

well, its melting temperature will affect it as well as the amount of energy needed to break the bonds holding it together as a solid and then create the necessary entropy (chaos) to make it into a liquid

Answer 4

Yes, an ice cube would melt faster or slower in different liquids, depending on the rate of heat transfer of the liquid. Ice cubes would absorb heat faster in liquids with higher heat transfer rates.

The difference in melting time under typical conditions (e.g., 600 mL water, cup held still, 5-6 ice cubes), however, would be so minuscule it can be neglected, since changes in smaller system are less perceptible and the convective heat transfer from the surrounding air to the liquid is far too slow to replenish the conductive heat loss from the liquid.

Answer 5

yes, yes it does

Answer 6

Yes.
