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.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to the water in the beaker during melting?
During melting, the water in the beaker absorbs heat and undergoes a phase change from solid (ice) to liquid. As it melts, the temperature remains constant until all the ice has transformed into water.
When ice melts does its volume increase or decrease?
Water is more dense than ice. That's why ice floats in water. As the ice melts, the water level rises, but it never gets as high as the highest peak of the floating ice was.
Does the water in a glass of icewater rise as the ice melts?
In physics terms, yes. Ice has a negative heat, which when added to water, the negative heat is then transferred into the water, cooling it off. Then the opposite becomes true as well. The heat of the water acts to melt the ice, then reach thermal equilibrium, which happens only when both the "ice" and the water are the same temperature.
Which item decreases as heat is applied?
Volume is increased so density is decreased.
Why did the ice in the beaker melt in the cold fridge?
The ice in the beaker melted in the cold fridge because the temperature of the fridge was still warmer than the melting point of ice. As a result, the ice absorbed heat from the surroundings and melted.
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 happens to the water in the beaker during melting?
During melting, the water in the beaker absorbs heat and undergoes a phase change from solid (ice) to liquid. As it melts, the temperature remains constant until all the ice has transformed into water.
A piece of ice is dropped in a beaker containing kerosene when ice melts level of kerosene will?
As kerosene is less dense than water so level of kerosene will fall
When ice melts does its volume increase or decrease?
Water is more dense than ice. That's why ice floats in water. As the ice melts, the water level rises, but it never gets as high as the highest peak of the floating ice was.
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?
No, it will not, if the ice cubes are free-floating in the water to begin with (not crammed in, jammed against the glass and piled up). No, ice wouldn't over flow when water frezzes it expands therefore ice takes up more space then it can take
What happens to the density volume mass and shape of an ice cube put in a glass jar and left out in the sun?
it melts
When ice is melted the volume of the ice decreases?
When ice melts, it transforms from a solid to a liquid, which results in a decrease in volume. The molecules in the solid ice are packed more tightly than in the liquid water, leading to a lower volume when the ice melts.
What happens when ice is wrapped in saw dust or woolen blanket?
=it melts==it melts==it melts=
What would be the volume of water in a 250-mL container once the ice melts?
The volume of water will still be 250 mL once the ice melts. The ice will melt into water, but the total volume of the container will remain the same.
What happens when ice is in a plastic cup?
. it melts
This happens to ice when it gets hot?
It melts
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.
