Because water has higher thermoconductivity.
Water has a higher temperature in ice causing it to melt faster.
the water may be a warmer temperature than the air. why does ice melt faster in water than in air
The temperature of the water and the temperature of the air would have to be factors in the answer. EDIT: Assuming the air and water are the same temperature, it would melt much faster in water. The thermal conduction is much higher.
Because the temperature of water is higher.
It's because THE TEMPERATURE of the water. The higher temperature the faster melts.
The heat from the hot water is transferred to the ice, making the ice heat faster, thus causing it to return to room temperature faster, making it melt faster.
The transition from solid to liquid is faster when the temperature is increasing.
depends on the temperature of the air/water.
Yes, ice will melt faster in boiling water compared to room temperature water because the higher temperature speeds up the rate of heat transfer to the ice, causing it to melt more quickly.
That depends entirely on the air temperature and the temperature of the water.
the hotter the water the faster the ice will melt
The melting rate of an ice depends on the temperature of the surrounding. If the temperature is higher in the surrounding then the ice will melt at a faster rate and if the temperature is low then it will take more time to melt. The process of heat exchange is important whether it is air or water.
