The melting rate of an ice depends on the temperature of the surrounding. If the temperature is higher in the surrounding then the ice will melt at a faster rate and if the temperature is low then it will take more time to melt. The process of heat exchange is important whether it is air or water.

∙ 11y agoIt depends. Is the water very hot, or as cold as the ice itself? Is the land under a shaded tree, or on hot cement?
I could guess, without knowing the condition of the land and water, that the ice cube would melt faster on land.

∙ 14y agoan ice cube will melt in hot water faster than hot air
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThe heat capacity of water is higher than of air (at the same temperature) so melting ice goes faster in water

Does an ice cube melt faster on soil?
No, an ice cube doesn't melt faster in soil.
Why did the ice cube directly under the light melt faster when it had no cover than when it was covered with aluminum foil?
The aluminum foil reflected the rays of the light, so without the foil the ice cube couldn't reflect any of the light's rays and that made it melt faster
Causes for the ice caps to melt?
Temperature and pressure is the answer. Also, a piece of ice will melt faster when there is more surface area like with a hollow ice cube.
Dose the shape of an ice cube affect how fast it melts?
yes it does. the more surface tension the cube has, the faster it will melt b/c the more surface tension it has, the more its exposed to its environment or something like that. but the shape of the ice cube does affect the melting time.the answer above is true. the more surface area the shape of the ice cube has makes it melt faster. take a cube ice cube for instance. it has 6 sides so it would have more surface area then per say a sphere, which has no flat surface.
Does an ice cube melt quicker as it gets smaller?
Melting of an ice cube mainly depends on the temperature of surrounding. If the larger ice cube is put at 50 degrees Celsius and small one at 25 degree Celsius the large ice cube will melt faster than the smaller one. Ice cube draws energy from the surrounding which causes it to melt and so temperature of surrounding is very important
Will flour water or salt water melt an ice cube faster?
Salt water will melt an ice cube faster.
Does an ice cube melt faster in hot chocolate or hot water?
An ice cube will melt faster in hot water.
Does an ice cube melt faster in soapy or salt water?
An ice cube melts faster in salt water.
Do ice cube melt faster in water or air brief description of project?
if it is hot water it tends to melt faster but if it is cold water it wont melt quickly

Will ice cube melt faster in pop or water?
Yes
Does an ice cube melt faster in hot or warm water?
hot water
Does the ice cube melt faster in the air then the water?
i think in water. warm water
How does an ice cube melt faster?
set it in a pot of hot water
Does an ice cube melt faster on soil?
No, an ice cube doesn't melt faster in soil.
Why does the ice cube in water melt faster then ice cube on paper towel?
If it is in water it will start to become the same temprature as the water. But if it is on paper towel the air aroud itwill melt the ice cube.
