If you freeze a given quantity of water, the volume increases. When it melts, the volume decreases. The number of molecules remains the same.

Which ice cube will sink the one in water or hydrogen peroxide?
an ice cube cannot sink in water because its density is less than that of water. this is because of the air bubbles trapped inside; that make the ice cube less dense than water.
What is a hypothesis for what is the best way to keep an ice cube from melting?
One way to keep an ice cube from melting away is if you keep it in ice water.
What is one cubic inch of ice?
Not necessarily. Ice cubes and their containers come in all shapes and sizes and are frequently not even cube-shaped.
Why does an ice cube melt faster in water than air?
One is the temperature of the water could be warmerSecondly when an ice cube is in water, conduction takes place. The kinetic energy of the water particles more time.moves to the ice causing it to melt. When in air radiation or convection must take place which will take
What happens when you put a bottle of water in the freezer?
The water will turn into ice so it will be like one giant ice cube.
What effect does ice cube size have on the cooling rate of water?
The short answer is the larger the ice cube the slower it cools water. Whats really going on has to do with the surface area of the ice in relation to the total mass of the ice. Meaning one large cube will cool water faster than one small cube, however many small cubes will cool faster than one large cube. Unfortunately I can't remember (or readily find) the formula that demonstrates this principle, but suffice it to say the more surface area you can get exposed to the water the faster it will cool. Example: two glasses filled with equal amounts of water at room temperature, take two ice cubes of equal size place one in the first glass, crush the second and place it in the second glass. The second glass will cool faster than the first with the one large cube.
How many ml of water in an ice cube?
Any amount of water can make an ice cube. It's not the amount that determines if water will become ice, it is the temperature. The water just needs to be at a temperature of 0oC or lower, and it will become ice.
Why do heterogeneous mixtures have more than one phase?
An ice cube floating in water is a heterogeneous mixture with 2 phases (solid, liquid).
Where can one find more information about Ice Cube lights?
The website that sells Ice Cube lights called 'litecube' also contains all the vital information you need to know about Ice Cube lights like what different companies manufacture cube lights, designs you can buy them in and the price of the ice cube lights.
What is one thing that can cause matter to change from one state to another?
water can freeze to a ice cube
Why does a ice cube have matter?
An ice cube is composed of frozen water molecules, each of which contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Atoms are the building blocks of matter.
Does an ice cube melt faster in hot cold or warm water?
This depends on the volume and temperature of the water. Assuming we're talking about a glass of room temperature water, the ice cube should melt more quickly if left out of the water. This is because as the cube melts, it has a greater effect on cooling the temperature of the water than it would the air in a room.
