Why would ice alone melt faster in a glass container instead of a plastic container?
A glass container, because glass is a liquid that has the ability to form as a solid, while glass looks like a solid at a molecular level the atoms are actually moving, just like a liquid, the formation of glass molecules is highly irregular. But because the atoms are moving the energy or heat from water is allowed to escape past these molecules and cool the water.
