The sound of the popping comes from the ice cube shattering or cracking. The liquid that the ice cubes are dropped into is warmer than the cubes, so the cube startes to warm, which causes the ice to expand, making it crack and hence the popping sound.

Why do ice cubes stick together at times?
A cold glass of water sometimes causes water vapour from the surrounding air to condense onto the surface of the glass. The same thing happens with ice cubes, but instead the water droplets condensing on the surface, they will instantly freeze and 'weld' ice cubes together. They also can stick together if put into a drink, where again, the water in the drink near the surface of the ice cube may get cold enough to freeze and cause the ice cubes to fuse together.
What happens when sand is scattered on icy roads?
The sand helps melt the ice. I did an experiment. I put three ice cubes in 1 bowl without ice. The other bowl had salt and ice. The one with salt melted the quickest.
What will happen if you put a ice on a glassfull of water?
The ice will float, partly above the surface of the water but mostly under it. As time goes on, the ice will become smaller. Eventually, the ice will completely disappear, and the temperature of the water will be lower than it was before the ice was put into it.
Does an ice cube release heat or do water absorb heat from the ice cube?
There is no such thing as cold, only absence of heat. The ice will use the heat from the drink to change state from solid to liquid.
How do you make fog in a bottle?
Make fog in a bottle with hot waterIn this case the condensation is caused by the temperature variation between simple ice and hot water. 1. Fill up the jar or bottle completely with very hot water and let it stay there for about 60 seconds. 2. Pour out all but about an inch of the hot water. 3. Put a strainer or bag over the top of the jar. 4. Place ice cubes in the strainer or plastic bag. 5. Fog will form as the hot water vapor from the bottom of the bottle contacts the cold air created by the ice cubes and begins condensation.and there ya go. hehe
Would ice cubes melt in hot water first or will the ice cubes freeze the water first?
If you put ice cubes in a bowl or whatever of hot water, the ice cube is sure to melt when put so says science.
Garbage disposal sharpening?
Put ice cubes in disposal and run water as usual until ice cubes are shredded.
Is it harmful to put water in the freezer?

What if ice cubes are put in kerosene?

How do you keep ice cubes cold with natural materials?
put them in cold water
What will happen if you put 3 ice cubes in a plastic cup for 10 minutes and then for the other 10 minutes you put the 3 ice cubes in a paper cup?
it will dissolve into water and if you put it on paper it will dissolve in air
What happens to a glass filled half way with water and then ice cubes are added?
First thing that will happen is the water will rise depending on the amount of ice cubes put in. As the water gets colder, the ice cubes will start to melt turning into water.
What is a real life example of freezing?
Ice cubes you use to cool your drinks after you put the water in the freezer, Ice burgs....
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.
What is a way to see that ice is less dense then liquid water?
Put ice cubes in a glass of water. They will float, indicating that they are less dense than liquid water.
In what kind of water do ice cubes melt faster?
Hot, salty water. If you put an ice cube into a boiling pot of salt water, it won't last long.
