Yes because crushed ice has a greater surface area to volume ratio that a cube of ice. The greater this ratio the faster heat energy is transfered to the frozen water this then causes the particles within the ice to vibrate faster so the ice turns into water faster.

∙ 14y agoBecause the surface area of crushed ice is larger than that of cubed ice, meaning more ice is exposed to the air around it, the time for crushed ice to melt is less.

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.
Which melts ice cubes faster sand salt pepper?
Salt because the salt with ice or water turns into a new compound and lowers its freezing point.
What happened to the ice cubes after several minutes?
The ice is at a constant temperature of 0°C as it melts. Once it has completely melted, the water's temperature will start to rise to equilibrium with the room.
What if ice cubes are put in kerosene?
The ice cubes will sink.
Do ice cubes melt faster when salt is added?
yes they do melt faster like you know in the winter how you put salt out in the snow and it melts the snow,well that proves it
What melts faster water ice cubes or soda ice cubes?
Water :)
What changes when ice cubes melts?
a ice cube melts when it heats up
What does salt do to iced water?
Salt melts ice cubes.
Do ice cubes melt faster alone or with other ice cubes?
It melts faster alone because the others are not cooling it off.
What happens to ice cubes if salt water is added?
It melts slowly.
Why does salt melt ice cubes faster?
salt melts ice because it wants it to die
Which ice cubes melts faster with sugar or ice cubes?
Sugar has very little effect on melting point - it is too high molecular weight. That might answer your question, which does not make sense as written. Thus, it melts faster with sugar, because other ice cubes slow melting.
What melts ice cubes faster table salt or sand?
Table Salt.
Is tea with ice cubes heterogeneous or homogeneous?
Heterogeneous. You can see the parts of the mixture with the naked eye. The parts of the mixture are: the tea and the ice cubes. Once the ice melts, it will be a homogenous mixture.
Which melts faster a bunch of ice cubes or a block of ice explain?
A bunch of ice cubes would melt faster than a block of ice. This is because the ice cubes have a greater surface area exposed to warmer temperatures causing accelerated heat absorption.
Will a cup full of ice cubes and water spill if you wait for the ice cubes to melt?
No. Water expands when it freezes so when it melts, it will take up a smaller volume.
Why the ice cube melts and the salt does not?
Salt cubes will also melt at temperatures of -38
