If the process of melting absorbs heat energy from the surroundings then what would the process of freezing do?
Melting is the result of enough heat energy being transferred INTO an object to turn it into a liquid. Freezing is the result of enough heat energy being transferred OUT of a liquid to turn it into a solid. Melting and freezing are not as much of a "process" as they are a result. For example: When you put water into the freezer, the heat energy in the warm water is transferred into the colder air, which causes the water to freeze. That process causes the air in the freezer to warm up slighltly. The process of refridgeration then transfers that heat out of the freezer, which makes the air in the freezer nice and cold again.
Why does an ice cube melt when outside of the freezer?
when the ice cube is taken out of the freezer the warm air or the climate change will have the effect to make it melt because when the ice cube freezes its in a very cold climate at about 32 degrees or cooler and when warm air hits what ever was cold it heats up and it melts it back to its regular form.

How do you catch a snowflake?
You need something really cold. You or anything from inside your house will be too warm and the snowflake will melt as soon as it touches. If the weather outside is cold enough, you can leave something, like a spoon, outside until it cools off. Then you can use it to catch a snowflake. If the weather is too warm (the snow is not sticking to the ground, but melting), put the spoon in your freezer for a hour or so.

Why is it not vital to keep the lid of a chest freezer closed?
Any freezer needs to be kept closed as much as possible if you wish for it to remain cold. However a chest freezer will not warm up as fast as an upright freezer. This is because the cold air in the freezer is heavier than the air outside of the freezer. When you open an upright freezer the cold air "falls" out, this can't happen with a chest freezer.
Refrigerator left open for 2 days is the food from freezer bad?
That depends how warm the food got in the freezer. If it didn't get above 40°F, it is probably safe. If the food is all thawed out and warm, throw it out. If you are unsure, don't eat it.
Why do freezer bags leak after thawing contents when there are no holes in bag?
I would bet that it is just condensation...just as a cold beverage collects a lot of moisture on the outside on a warm day. But the structure of the bag may also be degraded by the huge temperature changes. I had to clean my refrigerator once, because a reddish liquid had leaked from a bag of meat from the freezer. That was definitely no condensation. However, not all freezer bags are created equal. Some brands offer stronger bags than others. If you experience this problem, you could try different brands. If nothing else works: put your freezer bags in a plastic container, when you thaw them. It will safe you a lot of time cleaning.
What is wrong with thawing out shrimp in a sink of hot water?
Most thawing instructions I have seen for shrimp is to not quick thaw under running water. That can make the shrimp pick up water and literally water-down the flavor. Hot water thawing is not recommended for the same reasons and could result in even more water absorption. Usually, though, the main concern with thawing out food in hot water is that the outside gets warm enough to grow bacteria before the inside thaws.
