Would all of the energy lost by hot water be transferred to an ice cube?

In a perfectly-insulated container, with a perfectly-insultated cover, all the energy of the hot water is distributed between the hot water and the ice cube.
As the ice cube melts, this statement is still true, but the ice's latent heat of fusion may draw the hot water down to near freezing point, even if its mass is small compared to the mass of hot water.

What would melt faster a normal ice cube or a sea water ice cube?
A sea water ice cube -- Because the melting point of sea water is lower than that of normal water.
How does water temperature and stirring rate determine how fast a sugar cube dissolves?
What is meant by dissolving of sugar cubes?? For a sugar cube to dissolve, the bonds formed by the molecules with each other must break. That is the van der Waal bonds must break, not the valence bond(because otherwise, you cant call it a sugar molecule!). And what is required for the bond to break?? Energy. When we simply put a cube in water, very little parts of it may dissolve. That might be due to breaking of bonds using the energy from its fall(as it falls through the liquid, frictional heat develops; heat is a form of energy) or the heat from water(in case the temperature of water is greater than that of the cube). As I answer you question i think why sugar cube doesnt dissolve in air when air temperature is greater than that of the cube? It is because air isn't a solvent for solids! Back to the answer to our question: When you stir, you rise the water temperature. The kinetic energy is converted to heat energy. When you rise the water temperature, the heat is equally distributed to the water and the cubes it contains. the cube takes the energy and the atoms start vibrating more intensely. this weakens the bond and when this is accompanied by the presence of molecules of a good solvent around it, the bonds break and the cube dissolves.
What would happen if someone droped an ice cube in a glass of water?
It would eventually melt, and somewhat cool the water.
Which will melt first an ice cube or an snow cube and why?
A snow cube. Water has an interesting property in that it takes a lot of energy to increase its temperature. This is due to the strong attraction between water particles (hydrogen bonding). The water particles in a solid ice cube are all strongly attracted together and are more densely packed than those in a snow cube. The snow cube has more spaces in it for air which means more of the surface area of the snow cube will be in direct contact with the air and therefore it will melt faster.
Which would melt faster an ice cube of water or an ice cube of Coca-Cola?
a ice cube in alcohol would melt fastest because of the heating molecules contracting with the ice cube molecules
Why does ice melt in your hand and make your hand cold?
your body temperature is higher than that of an ice cube's, so your fast-moving molecules in your hand hit the slow-moving molecules in the ice cube, warming it up. the transfer of ice to water is just to let the atoms and molecules move about free-er in liquid form.
How is heat transferred when an ice cube is put in water?
the heat is like fire,soit melts
What takes place as an ice cube cools a drink?
kinetic energy in the drink increasesA calorie of heat energy is transferred from the ice to the water of the drink. Because ice absorbs heat from the drink, cooling down its temp.Common mistake:People think that ice producess coldness, when all its doing to the drink is absorbing the heat, causing the ice cube to melt ;)You say that a calorie of heat energy is transferred from the ice to the water, but that is not entirely correct as a calorie is defined as the amount of heat that 1g of water releases when it cools by 1 degrees Celsius. What if i add a really small block of ice? Surely a calorie of heat will not be transferred from the ice to the water. Therefore it would be more correct to say that the total kinetic energy of the drink decreases.
How do you perform energy transfers?
A simple way to illustrate energy transfer is to put an ice cube in a glass of water. The heat energy from the water will transfer to the ice cube until thermal equilibrium.
How long would the ice cube stay in the hot water?
That would depend on the temperature of the cube and the water along with the volume of water and the mass of the ice cube and its area.
What property changes when a ice cube melts?
When an ice cube melts, heat is transferred from the external environment to the frozen water, causing the molecules to move more quickly. The moving molecules contract, forming liquid water.
How many milliliters of water would be displaced by 120 cube?
It would depend on the size of the cube!
An ice cube melts when mechanical energy increases?
An ice cube will melt when it is above the freezing point of water. At this point the individual molecules have enough energy to vibrate more causing the ice cube to melt.
What would happen if you mixed water olive oil and an ice cube?
if you were to add water an ice cube an olive oil the water would be on the bottom and the oil would be on top and the ice cube wuld float inside of the olive oil.
Heat is transferred from your body into an ice cube by?
conduction
What occurs when a 35-gram aluminum cube at 100C is placed in 90 grams of water at 25C in an insulated cup?
Heat if transferred from the aluminum to the water, and the temperature of the water increase
What would melt faster a normal ice cube or a sea water ice cube?
A sea water ice cube -- Because the melting point of sea water is lower than that of normal water.
