Why the ice cube at the top or bottom alcohol?

When an ice cube is placed in a glass of alcohol, it tends to float either at the top or bottom depending on the relative density. Ice is less dense than alcohol, so it typically floats at the top of the glass. However, if the ice contains air bubbles or impurities, it may sink to the bottom due to reduced buoyancy.


Why does an ice cube melt at rom temp?

The way to make an ice cube is to fill a container with water at room temperature (20 degree Centigrade, say) and then put the container in a freezer, which removes heat from the container/water until the water temperature is below the freezing point (0 degree C, approximately, depending on the atmospheric pressure and water purity). So, the temperature of an ice cube is at or below zero degree C -- something that cannot be achieved outside the freezer. Now take the ice cube out of container and place it on table top. The air and the table surface that the ice cube is in contact are pretty much at 20 degree C temperature. The ice cube starts absorbing the heat from its surrounding. The outer skin will melt first, because its temperature is now above zero degree C, until the whole ice cube becomes a puddle of water. If you touch the puddle just after the ice disappears, you can feel that the water is cooler than the air, because the heat absorption is incomplete. Wait an hour or so, and the water will be at the same temperature as the room air.


How can you remove an ice cube from a glass of water with a piece of string without touching the ice cube?

ok so u get a lil cup wit water!you add an ice in the cup you lay a piece of string ontop of the ice add salt to da string the ice will re freeze and stick to the string Pour the water out, holding the string straight across the top so that it prevents the icecube from slipping out. Then tip the icecube out. Also, depending on the shape of the icecube and/or the length of the string, you can make either a simple loop and grab the icecube with it, or make a net and scoop the icecube out (these ways don't require the loss of the water).


What happens if you leave an ice cube out of the freezer?

Well, honey, that ice cube is gonna have a grand ol' time melting faster than you can say "oops". It'll turn into a puddle of water faster than you can say "hot mess". So, unless you want a wet surprise on your hands, keep those ice cubes chillin' in the freezer where they belong.


If you wish to cool something by placing it in contact with ice should you put it on top of the ice block or put the ice block on top of it?

Placing the object on top of the ice block is more effective for cooling because direct contact between the object and the cold surface helps transfer heat more efficiently. The ice block will absorb heat from the object more rapidly when placed underneath.

If you had an ice cube and put it in a cardboard box and put the ice cube on top of tissue paper will the ice cube melt?

yes, unless you keep the temperature under 32 F degrees (0 C) the ice cube will melt.


How do you tell if your freezer is broken?

To tell if your freezer is broken you put an ice cube in a small container and put a penny on top of the ice cube. then you put it in the freezer. After a couple days you check it. If the ice has melted and the penny is no longer on top of the ice cube then you should probably check your food in your freezer and get your freezer fixed.


What would happen if you mixed water olive oil and an ice cube?

How do you do the ice and salt challenge?

You take a ice cube and some salt. First pour some salt on your arm and then put the ice cube on top and let it sit there for about 45 seconds. You will feel the burn.

Why there is smoke on top of ice tray?

A very cold ice cube may appear to smoke, but actually what you are seeing is water vapor. The air around the ice cube is cooled by the cold ice cube, and when it cools, water vapor in the air condenses into fog.


If you have an automatic ice maker to Ice Cube from the bottom up Trey to the ones on top what happened?

Depending on your preference. You could put the top on bottom or vice versa.


How could you model the way that glaciers move in nature?

you could use a large ice cube , make a hill out of sand then put the ice cube at the top and see if it slowly slides down.


Why do ice cubes sink but when you drink the water they rise to the top?

Ice cubes don't sink in water, as the density of an ice cube is less than the density of water.


How do you get an ice cube to sink?

Ice can't sink hunny :) It is less dense then water (density= 1.0) and therefore, it can only float, not ever sink.

Will add salt to ice water help keep soda cold?

Yes, it will keep the soda cold because the salt help the ice not to melt. Don't believe me check it yourself. Get an ice cube put a little salt on it and it doest melt. Or get an ice cube put some salt on it and then get a string put on top and IT WILL STICK!!!!!!!
