When an ice cube in a glass of water melts the water level in the glass?
increases
When ice cube floating in a tumbler of water melts completely why there is no overflow of water?
Its actually quite simple. The answer would be Anomalous expansion of Water, which means that the volume the Ice cubes are consuming in a glass filled upto the brim is more than water alone. When Ice melts and comes back into water form, it uses lesser volume (space) in the glass. Hence it does not allow the glass to overflow as the person pouring into the glass had poured in keeping into view the level of the ice (which uses more volume).
Would a glass that was filled to the brim with ice and water would it overflow?
No. The volume taken up by the ice gets smaller as it melts. This makes the total volume of ice and water in the glass smaller as time passes. So the glass will not overflow
Will water overflow when the ice in the cup completely filled with water melts completely?
If you are asking if a cup filled with water and ice, when the ice melts, will the water overflow, then the answer is no. As the ice becomes water, then it loses its ability to displace the water that it was first displacing as it was ice. So in the end, the water level won't raise or fall as the ice melts, it just replaces the space it once filled with water, leaving you with a full cup of water.
Do the water molecules move by convection or conduction?
convection above zero, somebody said they are conductive below zero, like glass that melts.
A glass full of water contain ice cubes floating in it .What will happen to the water level when ice melts?
When the ice melts the water level will rise. The water level will increase because Ice is frozen water and when the ice melts, it turns to water, which means more water will be added to the glass.
What will happen if ice in kept in glass of water does the level of water will rise or not?
yes, becuse when ice melts it becoms water.Answer:When ice is added to a glass of water the level will rise. After that, as the ice melts the level will decline. When water freezes it expands, so when it thaws back to a liquid it shrinks.
When an ice cube in a glass of water melts the water level in the glass?
increases
When all ice in a glass of water melts the level of water in the glass?
Stays the same (assuming that all the ice was floating to begin with).
Does glass melts in water?
no
Beverage glass is filled to the brim with ice cold water 0C and ice cubes Some of the ice cubes are floating above the water level When the ice melts the water in the glass will?
When all the ice melts (it will take a while with the water at 0C), the water level in the glass will not be in any danger of overflowing the container because water is one of those rare liquids that expands when it freezes. (This is why a closed glass container of water put into a freezer will break.) This means that it contracts as it melts.The specific water level of the glass will depend on how much ice was floating above the water level, but it won't be in any danger of overflowing. As a matter of fact, the water level will actually be lower than the rim of the glass.
Does thesea level rise when water melts?
yes it does....when ice melts.....
How did the growth of glaciers affect water level in the oceans?
when glacier runs into the ocean it causes the water level to rise. just like when we add ice cubes to a glass of water. but when the icebergs melts water level remains the same. like when the ice cubes melt in a glass of water. it does not increase the amount of water in the glass. global warming is causing glaciers to run into the ocean causing water level to rise.
What does ice do in a glass of water?
First it floats, then it melts and makes the water colder.
Why does the level of kerosene in a glass decrease when an ice cube kept in it melts?
Ice expands as it freezes, so it takes up more volume than an equal mass of water. Hence when the ice melts in the kerosene, the liquid water takes up less volume, so the level of the kerosene drops.
Will water pour out of the glass when the ice melts into a full glass of water?
If he glass was full and you put ice cubes in it would overflow strait away.
