Would ice cubes melt in hot water first or will the ice cubes freeze the water first?

If you put ice cubes in a bowl or whatever of hot water, the ice cube is sure to melt when put so says science.

Why do rivers and lakes not freeze easily?
While water is moving, its temperatue can drop below zero and it doesn't freeze. Obviously, faster moving rivers are less likely to freeze. For lakes, water's unique density behaviour protects them from freezing. Unlike almost all substances, the solid form of water (ice) is less dense than the liquid form. Ice cubes float. (For almost all other substances, the "cubes" would sink.) So when lakes freeze, the ice stays at the top. This insulates the remaining water from the colder air above. If ice cubes sank, then lakes could freeze all the way to the bottom: the ice that formed would fall to the bottom, continually exposing the top water to the cold air.
How does the temperature of water affect the time it tackes to freeze into ice cubes?
Temperature affects the time it takes to freeze water because hot water will freeze slower than cold water because it has more thermal energy. I hope I answerd your question!
What will freeze first water or soda?
water
What will freeze first water and sawdust or water?
Water
Are ice cubes are source of water in areas with poor water supplies?
Well I think that if they have poor water supply they will not be making ice cubes. Although In the case that someone is providing ice cubes it would have to be a large amount.
Can ice cubes freeze water?
At 32 degrees the ice cubes would need be of larger volume than the water. At lower temperatures they would need less mass to create an average water temperature that is frozen.
Will ice cubes freeze larger if hot water is used?
no it will not
Can you freeze swede?
Yes, peel the vegetable and cut into cubes, blanche in boiling water for 3 minutes then freeze
Will tap water freeze?
yeah, did you ever make ice cubes before? you use tap water.

What would freeze first a pond or ocean?
A pond, being fresh water and smaller, would freeze first. Sea water, being salty and larger, also constantly affected by the tides and wind, will only freeze in very extreme coldness.
Why do ice cubes stick together at times?
A cold glass of water sometimes causes water vapour from the surrounding air to condense onto the surface of the glass. The same thing happens with ice cubes, but instead the water droplets condensing on the surface, they will instantly freeze and 'weld' ice cubes together. They also can stick together if put into a drink, where again, the water in the drink near the surface of the ice cube may get cold enough to freeze and cause the ice cubes to fuse together.
Would dollar bills freeze together in a freezer?
The only way they'd freeze together is if they were soaked in water first.
Some ice-cubes from coffee shops have a hole in the middle?
there is air in the water before it froze so when the water freeze, the air could not be frozen
