If we put pressure on ice then how can it melt?
Putting pressure on ice can melt it by helping to break it up into smaller pieces, as happens when ice is crushed. Smaller pieces have greater surface area that can be exposed to warmer air.
Why does crushed ice melt faster than the same amount of icein single block?
A crushed ice cube has more surface area that a whole ice cube...therefor heat is applyed to more of the "ice cube" during a time peroid.
How fast does ice melt in cold water?
it really all depends on the temperature if the water is warmer than the ice it would melt in atleast 1 min if the water is freezing cold and colder than the ice then the ice will melt in an hour b/c the water will warm up to room temperature if it5 was boiling water it would obviosly melt in a few seconds or 2
When will ice melt in celcius?
0° Celsius is the temperature at which ice starts to melt.
How fast can room temperature water melt ice?
This is mainly dependent on the mass and area of the ice in contact with the water, and the flow of water around the ice. Also any impurities in the water or ice will be influential. Obviously it would take longer to melt an iceberg than an fridge ice cube, and longer to melt a flat piece of ice, than a cube of ice of the same mass, so the question is impossible to answer without more information. In practice it would be complex to calculate and the easiest way to find out is simply by experimenting assuming the ice is not too large!
What will melt faster- an ice cube or the same mass of crushed ice?
Crushed ice
Which will melt faster an ice cube or crushed ice?
Crushed ice since their is a greater surface area exposed.
If the crushed ice was in water will it melt faster than crushed ice by itself in a cup?
Yes, crushed ice will melt faster in a cup of water than in a cup by itself. This is because the water is a higher temperature than the ice.
Hypothesis on crush ice and ice cubes?
Crushed ice will melt faster.
Does ice with ice melt on it melt fast?
yes
Does cubed or crushed ice melt faster?
Crushed ice melts much faster than cubed because crushed ice is smaller. Crushed ice melts faster because it has a larger surface area exposed to the air or liquid its in. It is also less dense and will be more subject to temperature change because of it.
How fast does ice-melt melt ice?
it all depends on the temperature. ice melts faster at higher temperatures
How fast does ice melt at 450 degrees Fahrenheit?
At that temperature ice would melt instantaneously.
Why does a cup with crushed ice melt faster than a cup with cubed ice?
More surface contact with air.
What ice melt fast in?
boiling water
Why does ice cream melt fast?
because it does!
Which melts fastercrushed ice or ice cubes?
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.
