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.

What are the three things that effect the rate of photosynthesis?
Three main factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis are light intensity, carbon dioxide levels, and temperature. Higher light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis, while a lack of carbon dioxide or extreme temperatures can slow it down.
How does a type of plant affect transpiration?
*stomata -open-increased transpiration -closed-decreased transpiration *consequence of gas exchange -tradeoff of more gas exchange resulting in more transpiration *environmental factors -humidity -air movement -evaporative cooling -wind stress -intense light/heat
Will salt water or tap water have a greater affect on a plant's growth in four days?
As salt water will kill it quickly in almost all situations, and a regular tap water would keep it living at it's normal rate, I'd say salt would have the greater effect...albeit a negative effect.
Does cooling rate affect solubility?
slower rates of cooling will create larger crystals, rapid cooling allows little time for element accumulation in the crystal, therefore, the crystals created will be smaller. larger, visible crystals in igneous rock indicate that the magma was slow cooling, usually at depth. much smaller crystals in igneous rock indicate rapid cooling of lava, usually at or near the surface. crystals in igneous rock will grow larger and have more to accumulate material for their growth the more they have at their crystallization temperature.
How does independent variable effect the radish germination?
The independent variable in an experiment could be factors such as light, temperature, or water levels. By manipulating the independent variable, such as changing the amount of light or water given to the radish seeds, you can observe how it affects their germination rate. Each independent variable can have a different effect on radish germination.
What is the great cooling effect produced by water evaporating, and how does it relate to its high evaporation rate?
The great cooling effect produced by water evaporating is called evaporative cooling. When water evaporates, it absorbs heat from its surroundings, causing a cooling effect. This cooling effect is related to water's high evaporation rate because the faster water evaporates, the more heat it can absorb, leading to a greater cooling effect.
What conclusion can you make about the effect of the evaporation on cooling?
what is the conclusion of evaporate rate water
What is the effect of cooling on pulse rate?
Cooling slows heart rate, thus slowing the pulse rate.
How does milk affect the cooling rate of coffee?
milk is cold. an example of how it affects coffee is this: you have hot water. put an ice cube in that. that's about the same rate as milk and coffee.
What will have the highest rate of solubility a sugar cube in boiling water a sugar cube in room temperature water a sugar cube in refrigerated water?
solubility generally increases on heating. so sugar cube in boiling water will dissolve fastest.
What is the name of the cooling effect for moving air at different temperatures?
The cooling effect is called the wind chill effect. It is the increase in the rate of heat loss experienced by a body due to the combination of wind and cold temperatures.
why are flow meters used on a chilled water system.?
The cooling effectiveness of the chilled water system depends on the water flow. Thus the water flow rate, as well as the temperature of the water, need to be monitored and adjusted to provide the chilling effect.
What is the dissolving rate of a bouillon cube?
With the lack of specific conditions, all I can say is this. If it is a cube for use in soup bases, it depends on the temperatuure of the water you drop it in and the amount of agitation it will experience while dissolving.
What is the independent variable in this experiment 'Does an ice cube melt faster in air or water'?
The independent variable in this experiment is the type of environment in which the ice cube is placed (air or water). This variable is manipulated by the experimenter to observe its effect on the rate of melting of the ice cube.
Will the surface area of a container affect the cooling rate of water?
Yes. Other things being equal, the cooling rate should be more or less proportional to the surface area.
A potato cube is placed in a beaker filled with hot salt water and another potato cube is placed in a beaker filled with cold salt water?
The hot saltwater will cause the potato cube to absorb the water due to osmosis, while the cold saltwater will cause the potato cube to release water. The difference in temperature affects the rate of osmosis – higher temperatures increase the rate, while colder temperatures decrease it.
Why does hot water cool quicker in the first 5 minutes?
This is because of newtons law of cooling, the rate that the water cools is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the water and the temperature of the surroundings. So, as the water is hotter it cools faster, as it cools down the rate of cooling decreases.
