The reason that the temperature in an ice bath remains constant for several minutes after placing a beaker in a warm water bath, is that it takes water longer to heat. The cold water will not heat up right away because the energy hasn't transferred.

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 is a factor held constant?

In science, as in real life sometimes several 'factors' effect the outcome of an experiment. In order to make the problem easier to study one or more of these is 'held constant' or not allowed to change in order to see the effect of the other variables. EX. Gas volume can be effected by both pressure and temperature. In order to understand the effect of pressure, Boyle kept the temperature constant. He then changed the pressure to see what happened to the volume of a gas. This gave him what is now called Boyle's Law: The volume of a gas varies inversely as the pressure when the temperature is held constant.

What would increase the pressure inside a tank of helium gas?

You have several options, including:Increase the temperature of the gas, keeping the volume and mass of gas constant.Decrease the volume of the tank (e.g. with a piston), keeping the temperature and mass of gas constant.Add more gas to the tank, keeping the volume and temperature constant.
