Ice cubes melt faster in hot water. Hot water has more heat energy to overcome the forces of attraction between water molecules in ice. Go look up the kinetic particle theory.

What temperature of water is best for ice cube melt faster?

If Ice cubes are melting in water, the temperature of both the ice cubes and the water will be exactly the freezing temperature of water: 32F, 0C. You cannot change this. You can add heat to make the ice cubes melt faster, but the extra heat will have no effect on the temperature, It will all go to melting the ice cubes.


Does ice water or ice cubes cool lemonade faster?

If the initial temperature of the lemonade is equal for both the water and the ice then the cubes would cool lemonade faster because they have a lower initial temperature.
