Why there is water on glass when ice melts?

Water forms on the surface of the glass when ice melts due to condensation. As the ice melts, it releases water vapor which comes into contact with the cooler surface of the glass, causing it to condense and form water droplets.


When ice melts does its volume increase or decrease?

Water is more dense than ice. That's why ice floats in water. As the ice melts, the water level rises, but it never gets as high as the highest peak of the floating ice was.


When snow melts what happens to temp?

Melting is a phase change. Typically what happens is that the snow absorbs heat until it has warmed to the melting point. As it continues to absorb heat, it undergoes an isothermal (the temperature doesn't change) phase change (melts). Once it has melted, it may continue to warm up above the melting point temperature. In practice different parts of the snow will be at different temperatures. The snow at the surface will be absorbing the heat and melting. As it melts, the water from the melted snow runs down into the unmelted snow where it supplies heat to that snow to start warming it up.


Does ice melts or dissolve in water?

Ice melts in water because the ice is below freezing and the water is above freezing (warmer than the ice) so slowly the ice melts in the water, but still cools it down a little. when it melts the water frozen in the ice form is added to the amount of water it was put in.


What is the process called when water changes from solid to liquid?

The name for solid water is ice. It changes to a liquid when it melts.

Is snow a liquid?

Not really. Snow is minute particles of ice loosely joined together, and when you pack it together hard, all the particles of ice come together and makes one big lump of ice. Another thing; If it was liquid, it would be called rain, not snow.

What does salt do to ice and snow?

Salt lowers the freezing point of water, which causes ice and snow to melt. When salt is applied to ice or snow, it forms a solution with the water, making it harder for ice to form and easier for existing ice to melt.


Where does ice go when it is melted?

When ice melts it becomes water again and eventually evaporates to become rain or snow.


Why does salt on a ski hill make the snow more firm?

The salt temporarily melts the snow, creating water. The water then refreezes, creating ice. Ice is much firmer, and faster than snow.


What is it called when snow melts and refreezes near the ground?

When snow melts and refreezes near the ground, it forms a layer of ice known as a "glaze" or "ice crust." This can create hazardous conditions for walking or driving.


What is the name for the process when snow or ice changes to water?

The process when snow or ice changes to water is called melting.
