It really shouldn't. But if you have a sensitive enough scale, maybe you're picking up the fact that a tiny, tiny amount of water is evaporating while it's melting.
The weight of the water will stay the same whether ice, water or steam, because the mass has not changed.
its gets cold Actually the ice gets warmer. Its the water that gets cold.
yes but it also depends on the heat..
Ten pounds (160 ounces) of ice melts into ten pounds (160 ounces) of water. The volume decreases when ice melts, but the weight does not change.
It usually rises, without the weight of the ice.
If you are asking if a cup filled with water and ice, when the ice melts, will the water overflow, then the answer is no. As the ice becomes water, then it loses its ability to displace the water that it was first displacing as it was ice. So in the end, the water level won't raise or fall as the ice melts, it just replaces the space it once filled with water, leaving you with a full cup of water.
Nope, you lose about 9% of volume when ice melts. That's because when you freeze water, it expands. It loses volume if you do it the other way around.
It is the salt itself that melts ice.
Yes, the volume of an ice cube changes when it melts. Ice occupies more volume than the same mass of water due to its crystalline structure, so when it melts, the overall volume decreases. However, when the ice is floating in water, the volume of water displaced by the ice is equal to the weight of the ice, resulting in the water level remaining constant as it melts.
No, when an ice cube melts it transforms from a solid state to a liquid state without losing or gaining mass. This is because the molecules in solid ice and liquid water are the same; only the arrangement of the molecules changes.
No. As it melts, it will saturate the layer below it, so that layer of snow will be heavier but there will be the same amount of water-equivalent on the limbs. And some of the water will likely drip off the branches anyway. In other words, the most weight that will be on tree limbs is right after the snow stops falling.
Ice because I know that snow melts ice.And why does snow melts ice???
