Radiation is the main transfer made. Conduction across an air space is poor. While convection will take heat up the chimney , instead of in to the room because heat is less dense and it will go up. They are all a way of transferring heat and energy.

When Heat moves from the stove to the ice cube is called?

The answer depends on where the ice cube is in relation to the stove: it could be conduction, convection or radiation.

What are three possible ways in which heat is transfered?

The three most common types of heat transfer are convection, radiation, and conduction. Conduction ---> (a teaspoon dipped in hot water) Convection ---> (a pot of boiling water) Radiation ---> (how the sun's heat reaches the Earth's surface)


How does heat flow when you put an ice cube on you hand?

It flows, by conduction, from your hand to the ice cube.


Does an ice cube melt faster in soapy or salt water?

An ice cube melts faster in salt water.


Why does an ice cube melt faster on top of bottle full of water versus an empty water bottle?

Ice cube requires heat to melt.Water conducts heat well. Therefore the temperature of the environment is absorbed by the water and the some of the distributed heat is taken by the cube and it melts.Air is an insulator. The only way heat from surroundings can go to the ice cube INSIDE the water bottle is by convection of air currents. But the convection is restricted to some extent by the almost closed water bottle, which has high(compared to cube size) plastic walls (plastic: heat insulator) on all sides and a narrow mouth. Therefore the convection and thus passing of heat to cube from surroundings is slow and this makes the ice melt slower in the empty water bottle.
