ice is less dense than water

∙ 13y agoIce is cold and the heat of any system evens out in time. After a time, the faster moving molecules in the "drink" slow down as they encounter the slow moving molecules of the ice, the ice melts to water (that phase transformation in itself requires energy that is taken from the "drink" and the cold water with it's slowly moving molecules slows the molecules of the "drink"..
The ice takes in the heat from the drink and releases the cold from the ice cube. this is called endothermal heat.
The cool water that melts from the ice falls, cooling the drink then the warmer liquid will rise which will then be cooled by the ice again, this process is repeated over and over until all the drink is cool. It is the principal of convection currents.

Ice cubes float at the top of a glass of water What does this tell you about the density of ice compared to the density of water?
icecubes are less dense than water because when water freezes it expands giving it greater volume but the same mass
Ice float on top of water?
Ice float on water because the density is lower.
Why does my ice melt in my soda?
Pure water ice cubes always float. They float because the molecules of water rearrange into a crystalline shape when they freeze. That arrangement leaves more empty space between the molecules of water which reduces the density of the water in ice form. Lower density objects float on higher density liquids.
How long does a top freezer-refrigerator take to make ice cubes?
It took about 5 hours to get the 1st cubes
Suppose you put a birthday caddle in a glass of water why will the caddle float on top of the water?
It will float on top because it is less dense than water.
Why do ice cubes always float a the top of the glass of water?
Ice is less dense than water and will float on water.
Why doesn't ice float?
Ice does float, but if you put in multiple ice cubes, the ice cubes underneath can't push up over and on top, so it looks like they're floating in the middle of the glass.
Why does ice cubes float on top of water?
Ice cubes are less dense than water.
Why do ice cubes float to the top of glass of water?
ice is less dense than water

What is a ice cream float?
You need a glass, ice cream, and carbonated soda (pop); the flavors for each are your choice. Take a scoop or a big spoonful of ice cream and drop it into the bottom of the glass. Fill the glass with soda, the ice cream will float to the top; voila, an ice cream float. One of the most popular are vanilla ice cream in root beer called a root beer float or a brown cow.
Ice float on top of water?
Ice float on water because the density is lower.
How do you make the alcoholic drink called a Sombrero?

That arrangement leaves more empty space between the molecules of water which reduces the density of the water in ice form. Lower density objects float on higher density liquids.
Why do ice cubes sink but when you drink the water they rise to the top?
Ice cubes don't sink in water, as the density of an ice cube is less than the density of water.

Some cooked food float on soup?
Croutons, are very small cubes of fried bread used to 'garnish' soup, and they do float on top of the soup.
