Ice water has a lower temperature, but if you have plain water, and the ice water melts, it's likely that you'll have two glasses of water of the same temperature.

How would ice cubes lower the temperature of the water?

the temperature of ice cubes are lower than the temperature of the water around them. The heat energy from the water is used up in the process of melting the ice, so the water temperature drops.


Is ice water or salt?

Ice is frozen water, while salt is a compound that typically exists as a crystalline solid at room temperature. When salt is added to water, it can lower the freezing point of the water, making it harder for the water to freeze into ice.


Is salt water colder then ice?

well for something to freeze it has to be 0 degrees or lower which is what ice is, frozen water. so the water has to be 1 degree or more to NOT freeze so the ice is colder than salt watercoz salt water is not frozen... does t6hat make sense? Actually, salt water CAN be colder than ice because the salt lowers the freezing point of the water.


Do you add salt to the ice or the ice cream ingredients?

You add salt to ice to lower the temperature of the ice/water mixture. Without the salt, the temperature would not fall below 32.F, which is not cold enough to make ice cream. The freezing point of salt water is below that temperature and thus allows the cream to partially freeze, a necessary part of making ice cream Salt causes water to freeze at a much lower temperature. Adding salt to the ice causes the temperature of the brine solution to drop dramatically, while freezing the ice cream inside the container.


Does the salt melt ice faster if it can lower the freezing point more?

When you add a salt to ice , the salt lowers the freezing point of the water, keeping it from refreezing as easily and helping to melt the ice. In other word, the salt itself cannot melt ice. So if the Environment temperature is lower than the freezing point, the ice will not melt faster. But , if the temperature is higher than the freezing point, the salt will surely make the melting process faster .

Is the temperature of ice water lower than the temperature of dry ice in alcohol?

No. The temperature of dry ice is far lower than that of ice water.

Does adding salt to ice lower its temperature?

Yes, adding salt to ice lowers its temperature because salt disrupts the normal freezing process of water, causing the ice to melt at a lower temperature.


How do you measure the temperature of ice water?

You can measure the temperature of ice water using a thermometer designed for lower temperatures. Place the thermometer in the ice water and wait until the reading stabilizes to get an accurate measurement.


How much ice to lower the temperature of a gallon of 90 degree F water by 1 degree F?

Depends on the temperature of the ice.


Can ice cubes freeze water?

Yes, when ice cubes are placed in water, they will lower the temperature of the water, causing it to freeze if the temperature drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius). The ice cubes transfer their cold temperature to the water, leading to the formation of ice.


Why does salt lower the freezing point of ice?

Salt lowers the freezing point of ice by disrupting the formation of ice crystals, making it harder for water molecules to bond together and freeze. This results in a lower temperature required for the water to freeze, allowing the ice to remain in a liquid state at a lower temperature when salt is added.

How does salt affect the temperature at which ice melts?

Salt lowers the freezing point of water, causing ice to melt at a lower temperature than it would otherwise. This is because salt disrupts the formation of ice crystals, making it harder for them to form and causing the ice to melt at a lower temperature.


Why when salt is poured on ice the ice melts?

Salt lowers the freezing temperature of water to some extent, so ice at 0°C can be melted to some porportion of ice at a lower temperature and brine.


How long does it takes ice to melt?

Ice (from pure water that is) will melt when the temperature rises from 0 degrees Celsius or higher. The only temperature ice will stay ice is 0 degrees Celsius or lower.


If a piece of ice is putted in a 9kg water whose temperature is 50c what will be its last temperature?

This can not be answered unless you specify: 1. The mass of ice, and 2. Whether the ice is at 0C or lower.
