Why is it that an ice that is wrap in wire gauze does not melt when heated in a beaker of water?

Since the wire gauze is a good conductor of heat, all the heat is sttracted to the wire gauze

What will happen if small piece of crystall of potassium permaganate is dropped in a beaker filled with water and is heated?
The water turns purple, and gets hotter. And what happens to the beaker? Depending on what it is made of, and the temperature to which it is heated, it might melt.
Does snow turn into gas?
If heated sufficiently it will turn into water vapour (steam) which is the gaseous state of water. It will also melt and evaporate.
As oxygen heated will solid Oxygen sublime or melt under a pressure of 1 ATM?
it will melt.
Does water melt?
yes it can if it ice but if its plain water then no
Why do ice melt faster in carbonation then no carbonation?
ice melts faster in carbon because it gets heated more faster and no carbon takes a while for it to melt unless the thing is really hot

What happens when snow flakes are heated?
They melt..> they melt and turn back to water.
What happens after water has been heated Does it evaporate or melt?
It evaporates
Why water at the top boils but the ice wrapped in iron gauze does not melt when heating a test tube at the top?
This has to do with the rate of heating. Your heater (of whatever type) transfers a lot of energy into the top of the tube, heating the water there. However, below the heater, the water is only heated by the water above it. Since water takes a relatively large amount of energy to heat, this lesser energy transfer is not enough to melt the ice at the bottom of the tube before boiling the water at the top of the test tube. The hot water will convect somewhat, aiding the process, but hot water is less dense than cold water (until the 0-4 celsius range, at which point cooling water will decrease density as ice particles begin to form) and will therefore rise. As the top is already being heated, convection will not have a significant effect. If you heat the bottom with the ice at the top, the rising warm water will greatly increase the energy transfer and will melt the ice much more quickly. Another answer is that the gauze is stopping the heat from getting to the ice. The gauze is acting as an insulator, keeping the heat out. The ice will melt eventually however.
Will plastic bags melt when heated?
Yes. Almost any plastic will melt when heated.
Can marbles melt?
Marble will melt when heated sufficiently.
Does snow turn into gas?
If heated sufficiently it will turn into water vapour (steam) which is the gaseous state of water. It will also melt and evaporate.
What change took place when the butter or margarine was heated?
Margarine will melt in hot water, even faster in hot, soapy water.
What happens to a rubber wheel when its heated?
It will melt if heated hot enough.
What happen to matter when it is heated?
it will melt
Does a compound melt when heated?
Yes
How a solid change into a liquid?
Many solids will change into liquids if you heat them, for instance most metals will melt when subjected to heat, ice will become water when heated, some plastics will melt, glass will melt, and most rocks will also melt.
