It depends on the size of the ice cube and amount of table salt.

How long to test the time taken for an ice cube to melt?
If you mean how long does it take for an ice cube to melt, there are a few variables you need to address, such as temperature of the room, and size of the cube.
How long does it take to melt ice in 5 degrees?
There are 2 different scales or ways of describing Temperature - Centigrade of Fahrenheit. Any ice that is above its freezing point will melt. Ice melts faster in dry air than in humid or wet air
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
Why does it usually take long for an ice cube to melt?
There are a few factors as to why an ice cube takes its time in melting. The main factors are the size of the ice and the temperature of its surroundings. The larger the piece of ice, the longer it takes to melt. This is because the ice itself is very cold and it takes a while for the temperature to completely melt the whole cube. If it is very small, it is subject to faster melting because the temperature melts the small amount of water easier. The other main factor is the temperature, the closer the temperature is to 0° C, the faster it will melt. There are also other factors like the other contents of the cube, time spent in and out of cold area and even air pressure but those seem irrelevant to this specific answer. Assuming this ice cube is normal sized in room temperature, the reason for the long time would be the fact that the room is around 60-70° F and it takes a while for the ice cube to adjust to the temperature and be affected by it. Once the high temperature of the room act on the below freezing ice cube, they will raise the ice cube's temperature to 0° C and it fully melts. Other Answer: It depends on how big the ice cube is and on the temperature in the room or out side. for example: If i have an ice cube and i set it out side in the snow it will melt it will just take longer because its very cold out side. Or..... If i have an ice cube and i set it in 90 degree weather it will melt a lot faster than in the snow.
Does ice melt faster in a room temperature glass or in a frozen glass?
ice melt in the room temperature

How long does it take a ice cube to melt?
That really depends on the temperature of the room it's in.
How long does it take for a ice cube to melt in a fridge outside and room temperature?
that was exactley what i was wondering!
How long does it take for a ice cube to melt in the fridge room temperature or outside?
it takes 3 hrs
How long does it take for a ice cube to melt in the fridge in room temperature and outside?
apparently 1 hour
What happens to an ice cube that has been left on a table for 10 minutes?
Depends on the temperature of the room the table is in. If the temperature is below 32 degrees F then nothing will happen to the ice cube. If above 32 deg, the ice cube will melt. The higher above 32 the temperature is determines how long it will take to melt completely.
How do you know if ice cubes reach room temperature?
At room temperature an ice cube...is rapidly melt. It is impossible for the ice to have the room temperature (ca. 20 0C) at normal pressure.
If the ice cube is in the refigerator melt faster than an ice cube in room temperature?
No. Outside of the refrigerator is warmer than inside.

Why glacier do not melt and an ice cube melt quickly?
Ice cube melts but the glacier does not melt because depending upon the temperature of the surrounding. When an ice cube is taken out of the refrigerator, there is a sudden change in the temperature of the surrounding as it (temperature) increases so the ice cube depending upon the temperate of the surroundings melts earlier. According to the latent heat of fusion, it will first melt completely to become liquid and then its temperature will increase to reach a state of thermal equilibrium e of the room temperature. In case of a glacier, the temperature of its surroundings is less so a glacier does not melt like ice cube.
