What will happen to the water level when an ice cube in a glass of water melts?
The water level lowers. See the Related Question below for additional info.
Will a glass of water filled to the brim with a cube of ice floating in it rise when ice melts?
No. The ice will melt such that it fills the volume of ice that the submerged part of the cube displaces.
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).
If you float an ice cube in a glass of water filled to the brim will the water overflow when the ice melts?
The level of the liquid stays the same : the ice is no longer above the water but it takes up less space as water.Ice floats, therefore it is less dense than liquid water. (They are both made of H2O.) As the ice melts it becomes denser, using less space for the same about of mass (water is unlike most substances that become less dense as they melt). So if it takes less space for the same mass, the water level goes down. (The actual mass does not change only its form.) However, the volume of ice above the water level is approximately 12.5% of the total). When this melts you will find that its 'extra' volume causes the final level to be the same as the original one.The science behind this has to do with Archimedes Principle, which states that the mass of the liquid displaced by a floating object is equivalent to the mass of the object. The space taken up by the object under the water is same as the amount of water of the same weight. So in ice cube terms: the volume of the water that the ice cube displaces is the same as the weight of water in the ice cube. Given that these two are exactly the same, the level therefore remains constant.
What happens to the particles that make up an ice cube when melted?
An ice cube is just frozen water. When an ice cube melts it becomes water. Eventually, the water will evaporate.

An ice cube melts in a glass of water because?
Water temp is greater than 0 °C.
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.
Why would melting the Arctic ice cap not cause a rise in sea level on its own?
If you put an ice cube in a glass of water the water level will rise because the cube displaces the water. Now if you check the water level after the cube melts, it will be the same. So ocean levels will not change if floating chunks of ice melt. However, If the ice is on land and melts and the water runs into the ocean, that will increase the water level.
Will a glass of water filled to the brim with a cube of ice floating in it rise when ice melts?
No. The ice will melt such that it fills the volume of ice that the submerged part of the cube displaces.
Why does an ice cube melt in a warm glass of water?
It Melt Bcuz The water is Warm So it Melts The Ice && Then The Coldness Make the Warm Water Cold

If an ice cube is placed into hot water what will happen to the water and the ice cube?
The ice melts and the water gets cooler.
Does an ice cube melt faster in soapy or salt water?
An ice cube melts faster in salt water.
