How fast would snow melt at 40 degrees Fahrenheit?

Answer 1

The answer depends on if you are adding heat and how fast you are adding heat if you are, in fact, adding heat.

At 32o F ice will change from solid to liquid, OR FROM A LIQUID TO A SOLID, without changing temperature. You must either add (melt), or remove (freeze), the latent heat of fusion. The addition, or removal, of the latent heat of fusion only changes the state of the water, IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE TEMPERATURE.

Answer 2

At 40 degrees Fahrenheit snow would not melt very fast. It depends heavily on accumulation as well. The larger the amount, the slower it will melt, as opposed to thin layers of snow will melt quicker.

Answer 3

The rate at which snow will melt at 40 degrees Fahrenheit will depend on various factors such as sunlight, humidity, and the thickness of the snow. In general, snow will melt faster at 40 degrees Fahrenheit compared to temperatures closer to freezing point.

Answer 4

yes, but it will melt in a couple of hours.

Answer 5

Ice will melt in a very short time at 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Ideally, ice will normally melt when it reaches 32 degrees Fahrenheit.?æ

Answer 6

Over 0 0C, at standard atmosphere pressure.
