If ice is place on wood how long will it take to melt?

It would take longer because wood is an insulator, but it all depends on how much energy is absorbed by it's surroundings. If it's warm out, more energy can be used to melt the ice, if it is colder, then vice versa. If it is below freezing outside, then obviously it won't melt.


How long does it take to melt ice cube with ice melt?

that depends on the size of the ice cube, how much salt, and the ambient temperature.


How much energy is gained by 3 grams of ice when it changes to water?

No energy is gained. On the contrary, energy is required to make ice melt.


Does ice melt fast in room temperature or with salt?

It all depends on how much ice and where it is. Ice will melt quicker in water at room temperature than in the air and a large block of ice will take longer to melt than an ice cube


What energy transformations take place in a melting ice cube?

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.


Will it take long for the ice to melt?

At 70 degrees it would take 24 hours to melt 2000 lbs of ice


How long does it take for 1 tablespoon of pepper to melt ice?

Pepper, on its own, will not melt ice.


An ice cube melts when mechanical energy increases?

An ice cube will melt when it is above the freezing point of water. At this point the individual molecules have enough energy to vibrate more causing the ice cube to melt.


How long does it take ice cubes to melt in a glass on the counter?

it would probably take about five minutes for the ice cube to actually melt


Why does ice cubes melt faster in water than in air?

One is the temperature of the water could be warmerSecondly when an ice cube is in water, conduction takes place. The kinetic energy of the water particles more time.moves to the ice causing it to melt. When in air radiation or convection must take place which will take


What can changes energy?

Energy can change state of matter. Heat can be used to melt ice.
