When ice melts will the liquid water occupy more or less volume than the ice?
The liquid has the same mass but less volume than the ice.
What happens to volume of ice when it melts?
The volume decreases. Ice is less dense than water. Put another way, a given weight of water can be stored in a smaller volume than the same weight of ice. Another possible, but also possibly less helpful, answer is that ice cubes get smaller as they melt because they lose content as the water in them runs off as a liquid.
To measure the volume of an ice cube a student first melts the ice then measures the volume of the liquid with a graduated cylinder is this procedure accurate?
No. When water freezes and becomes ice, it expands. This causes it to have greater volume. If you were to melt down ice, the volume you would measure afterwards (in liquid form) would be lass than the volume of the actual solid ice.
If a beaker is exactly full of water with an ice piece floating in it and the ice piece has a lead piece in it will the water overflow when the ice melts?
If the ice is already in the glass, when it melts there will be no net change in the abount of water. The ice cube displaces its own volume in water. The ice cube will melt and its H2O molecules will dissolve into those of the glass of water.
When ice melts it gains energy and is call this type of change?
When ice melts it is called a physical endothermic change.
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.
When ice forms water its volume comes down so why would ocean levels rise if Arctic ice melts?
Much of arctic ice sits above the level of the ocean. When this ice melts it adds to the volume of the ocean without subtracting any ice volume.
What happens to the volume of a beaker when ice melts in it?
The volume of a beaker doesn't change, it's a beaker. What your were probably trying to ask is what happens to the volume of the ice when it melts. The volume decreases; water is special. Unlike other substances when it freezes it expands. That is why ice floats, it is less dense then water.
When ice melts will the liquid water occupy more or less volume than the ice?
The liquid has the same mass but less volume than the ice.
Ten lbs ice how many ounces of water?
Ten pounds (160 ounces) of ice melts into ten pounds (160 ounces) of water. The volume decreases when ice melts, but the weight does not change.
If you melt an ice cube will the volume be the same?
Nope, you lose about 9% of volume when ice melts. That's because when you freeze water, it expands. It loses volume if you do it the other way around.
Can global warming cause the oceans to rise?
Yes. Global warming melts ice. Its not the ice that already drifts on the seas that is a problem, it displaces the volume of its weight, so if it melts, water levels will not rise. But the ice that covers land does not do this. If it melts, it will increase ocean levels.
Will there be more ice or water from one ice cube?
If you freeze a given quantity of water, the volume increases. When it melts, the volume decreases. The number of molecules remains the same.
What if icebergs were to melt what would happen to the sea level?
Icebergs melting have no effect at all on sea levels. Ice bergs are floating ice. Floating ice displaces exactly the same volume of water as the ice itself will have when it melts, and therefore total volume does not change as ice melts. A simple experiment in your own kitchen will verify this fact.
What happens to the mass and the volume of an ice cube as it melts?
The mass should not change but will decreases slightly due to evaporation. The volume will decrease.
Will a glass of water filled to the brim with a cube of ice floating in it rise when ice melts?
No. The ice will melt such that it fills the volume of ice that the submerged part of the cube displaces.
What happens to volume of ice when it melts?
The volume decreases. Ice is less dense than water. Put another way, a given weight of water can be stored in a smaller volume than the same weight of ice. Another possible, but also possibly less helpful, answer is that ice cubes get smaller as they melt because they lose content as the water in them runs off as a liquid.
