What else can I help you with?
Why is it that when water freezes some of the ice is white and some of it is clear?
It is simply air bubbles trapped in the ice. Boil water, let it cool, then freeze it. The ice should be completely clear.
Where does the white go when ice melts?
When ice melts, the white color disappears because the ice is made up of frozen water molecules, which are clear in their liquid form. The white appearance of ice is due to the air bubbles trapped within the ice structure, which scatter light and create the white color.
Why ice looks white?
Ice Cubes look white, because water is clear. So, when it is frozen it turns white, it's natural color. If you froze dyied water it would froze the colr it was dyied.
Why is the snowflake white?
because its ice and ice is clear
Why are the ice from an ice maker white?
The ice from any ice maker is white because of impurities in the water. It is also caused by minute cracks that causes the light to refract which in turn looks white. The only way to get crystal clear ice is to basically "paint" water onto a flat surface, freeze that layer, & repeat many times.
How are snow and ice different?
Well, ice is lumpy and harder than snow. Snow is softer and easier to pick up.
Why is nature ice clear?
Because natural water is clear.
What two things can you do to get clear water from a mixture of ice rocks and dust?
To get clear water from a mixture of ice, rocks, and dust, you can first melt the ice to release the water content. Then, filter the water through a fine mesh or cloth to remove the rocks and dust particles, resulting in clear water.
Does boiling water make clear ice?
Yes, boiling water can make clear ice because it removes impurities and air bubbles that can make ice cloudy.
How long should water be boiled to achieve clear ice?
To achieve clear ice, water should be boiled for about 5 minutes before freezing it.
What causes the milky white in ice?
Here is the answer:The center of an ice cube is white because it is full of bubblesand other defects like cracks and boundaries between ice crystals. Cold water, from the faucet or in an ice tray, will freeze cloudily. Warm water, from the faucet or in an ice tray, will freeze clear. I have no clue why. I tried it one day and it worked. They are found in the center more than at the surfaces because the the water freezes from the outside in, and at a fairly slow rate.This allows the outer ice to solidify with fewer cracks and defects thanthe later ice. Hard water contains minerals like calcium that condense when frozen, which will cloud up ice cubes. As water freezes, dissolved air is forced out as a gas, which forms bubbles. These bubbles are trapped in the ice, making it look opaque.One additional item: ice and ice cubes can be made clear using the right water (clean and not aerated) and the right rate of freeze. If you have ever seen a nice ice sculpture, you know big blocks of ice can be pretty clear, but they usually dont' stay that way.--matt
When you freeze ice in an ice tray why is there a white part in the ice and where does it come from?
The white stuff is actually the impurities frozen in the water. Pure water freezes clear. Simply, air inside the liquid water becomes visible as water freezes. As water freezes, the bonds between the water molecules strengthen, causing the ice to harden. Tiny natural air bubbles found in tap water begin to be pressed together by the crystalization of the freezing water. Just as tiny water specks in the sky form clouds, tiny air specks in ice makes it cloudy.
