It requires energy to melt ice, converting it into water. This energy is recovered (returned to the environment) when the water freezes. Therefore, it is convenient to think of the water as storing this energy, while it is in the liquid state.

How is melting sugar different from melting an ice cube?
Because melting sugar turns color to form caramel. i.e. it has changed and specifically it has undergone a CHEMICAL CHANGE (Or chemical reaction). When melting ice, no chemical reaction occurs, and so it is just a PHYSICAL CHANGE.
List 3 physical changes?
a physical change is anything that can be undone. for example: -melting an ice cube (the water can be refrozen into the ice cube) -bending a piece of metal (the metal can be bent back into shape) -moving a block from one place to another (it can be moved back)
Why if you left an ice cube and salt at the sun the ice cube melts and the salt doesnt?
Because the melting temperature of the ice is 32°F and the melting temperature of the salt is 1,474°F.
What is the manipulated variable to does the shape of an ice cube affect its melting?
nothing
How long can you keep a ice cube from melting?
Forever if you leave them in the freezer! But it melts in hours.
What is a melting ice cube's kinetic energy?
Erm, it depends how fast it is moving! Kinetic energy is energy due to motion. If the ice cube is stationary, then it has no kinetic energy.
How can you keep an ice cube from melting?
store the ice in a cool storing place
Does an ice cube melt quicker as it gets smaller?
Melting of an ice cube mainly depends on the temperature of surrounding. If the larger ice cube is put at 50 degrees Celsius and small one at 25 degree Celsius the large ice cube will melt faster than the smaller one. Ice cube draws energy from the surrounding which causes it to melt and so temperature of surrounding is very important
How is melting a sugar cube different from melting a ice cube?
Due to their varying melting points (ice 32 and sugar 366°)
How is melting sugar different from melting an ice cube?

How do you keep an ice cube from melting for up to 8 hours?
how do i keep and ice cube from melting with out foam for 8 hours
Is melting an ice cube an example of endothermic processes?
Yes, the ice cube must absorb thermal energy from its surroundings to undergo the phase change, so the process is in fact endothermic.
Can you keep a ice cube from melting?
you can put sawdust on the ice cube
What is a hypothesis for what is the best way to keep an ice cube from melting?
One way to keep an ice cube from melting away is if you keep it in ice water.
When a melting ice cube turns into water is it a physical or chemical change?
Melting is a physical change.
Is melting ice cube physical or chemical change physical or chemical?
Melting is a physical change.
How do you stop an ice cube from melting?
put it in the freezer ;)
