To measure density
An ice cube sinks in alcohol because alcohol is less dense than water. The ice cube, being made of frozen water, has a higher density than alcohol, causing it to sink in the less dense liquid.
Rubbing alcohol, because water takes out all of the coolness of an ice cube whistle rubbing alcohol keeps it in.
The alcohol will lower the freezing point of the water, causing the ice cube to melt faster than it would in water alone. The alcohol-water mixture will create a solution with a lower freezing point, leading to quicker melting of the ice cube.
Ice cubes float in water because they are less dense than liquid water. When water freezes, it forms a rigid crystalline structure that spaces out the water molecules, making the ice cube less dense and causing it to float on the denser liquid water.
There are many reasons, the one i can think of is its specific heat constant is different.* * * * *Don't know the true answer but the above is not it.
in water or anything which is denser than ice
Ice cubes typically float in water because ice is less dense than liquid water. However, some types of alcohol have a lower density than water, which means ice will sink in alcohol since it is denser than the alcohol.
The water raises the temperature of the ice cube
a ice cube in alcohol would melt fastest because of the heating molecules contracting with the ice cube molecules
An ice cube will dissolve in water because the water is warmer than the ice.
The ice melts and the water gets cooler.
The scientific term for an ice cube is "solid water."
