What is an ice cube?

Ice cubes are small, roughly cube-shaped pieces of ice, conventionally used to cool beverages. Ice cubes are often preferred over crushed ice because they melt more slowly; they are standard in mixed drinks that call for ice, in which case the drink is said to be "on the rocks."Ice cubes are produced domestically by filling an ice cube tray with water and placing it in a freezer. Many freezers also come equipped with an icemaker, which produces ice cubes automatically and stores them in a bin from which they can be dispensed directly into a glass. Ice cubes out of a tray are generally longer and thinner, requiring less force to remove them from the tray and thereby reducing the likelihood of the cube becoming stuck in the dispenser.There are also dedicated ice-maker machines used to produce ice cubes for laboratories and academic use. Ice cubes are also produced commercially and sold in bulk; these ice cubes, despite their name, are often cylindrical, and may have holes through the center. An interesting characteristic of commercially made ice cubes is that they are completely clear, lacking the clouding found in the center of domestically made ice cubes.


How long does ice take to melt in water at 80 degrees?

This is entirely dependent on the mass of ice, its thickness, and surface area of the ice that interfaces with the warmer water (it will melt much faster, of course, at 80 °C than at 80 F°).There is also a question of the pressure at which the mixing is done, and, more esoterically, of the specific type of ice, as there are different forms of ice other than what we normally use.ExperimentallyA one-inch cube of ice in a 10 gallon tub full of water at 80 °F melted to invisible size in about 6 minutes. This is because the cube was unable to appreciably cool the larger volume of water. (This time can vary if the cube is stationary, or is moving in the water, which keeps the interface temperature more-or-less constant.)
