Under standard atmospheric conditions it just needs a temperature above 0˚C and time. If you have a defined mass or ice and external temperature you could find the time required to melt the ice. what may also help is that the latent heat of fusion for water ( the energy required to melt ice) is 334 kJ/kg so if you times that by your mass in kg you will find the energy needed to melt the amount of ice you have.

∙ 11y agoThat depends on what you are trying to melt.
Heat is needed to melt something (going from the solid phase to the liquid phase) during melting the introduction of heat cannot be observed as a temperature change, as the temperature remains constant during the process. The latent heat of fusion is the enthalpy change of any amount of substance when it melts.

When ice melts it gains energy and is call this type of change?
When ice melts it is called a physical endothermic change.
Does thesea level rise when water melts?
yes it does....when ice melts.....
When ice melts the particles of ice change into other types of particles?
When a solid is heated its particles melts and change into liquid
What materials do you need to test how fast ice melts?
To test how fast ice melts, I would use a thermometer to measure the temperature the ice will be melting at, and a timer.
When ice melts outside in the sun what state does it become?
It melts into liquid (water)
What have you learn in the film ice age?
Nothing much, but ice melts
Which will melt faster ice or ice cream?
Ice melts faster as ice cream is much more dense than ice so it melts slowerIce melts faster because there is less coldness around it. With icecream it's different.
How much of water would there be when ice melts in glass or plastic after eighteen minutes?
It depends on how much ice you have
What is in salt that melts ice?
It is the salt itself that melts ice.
Where does the white go when ice melts?
The white doesn't go anywhere when ice melts. When ice melts, its turns into water. Ice is just frozen water.
What is colder snow or ice?
Ice because I know that snow melts ice.And why does snow melts ice???
What changes when ice cubes melts?
a ice cube melts when it heats up
What ice becomes when its melt?
When ice melts it becomes WATER!
Does the volume of ice changes when ice melts?
Yes the volume of ice changes when the ice melts. In fact the volume of ice goes on increasing up to 0 degree Celsius and when the ice melts completely the volume of ice decreases on the contrary. Yes because when ice freezes, it expands and when it melts, it gets smaller.
What are the constants in this experiment what brand of ice cream melts the fastest?
the constants are....how much ice creamwere placedtemp. in room
Which ice cream melts faster?
Dairy ice cream melts faster than sorbet ice cream.
When a ice cube is a solid and it melts what is it?
When it melts it is a liquid
