The ice water cools the glass down, meaning it is now cooler than room temperature. This causes the gases in the air to cool when they hit the glass. The gases then cool to become liquid leaving condensation (or mist as you have said) on the outside of the glass.

Do melting ice cubes add to the amount of water?

The ice will melt to water and dilute whatever liquid it is in, so yes, your drink of whiskey will become weaker as this happens.


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.


Why do drinks water down after a while what phase change is this?

That would happen if there are ice cubes in the drink, and the ice cubes melt. Why? Because the amount of water in the drink increases. The phase change is from solid to liquid; this is called melting. You can avoid the drink watering down by not letting the ice touch the drink directly: either put the drink in a larger container with ice, or put a plastic bag with ice cubes into the drink. However, this way it will probably take longer for the drink to cool down.


What is a water cooler?

A water cooler usually refers to a water dispenser that chills the water. Some people also refer to a water fountain (one of those things you drink water from in public buildings or parks) as a water cooler as well.


Why is ice cubes unpopular in Germany?

because Germans usually drink their water at room temperature


Do ice cubes retain alcohol?

Ice cubes do not retain alcohol; instead, they dilute it when added to a drink. Ice is typically made from water, and as it melts, it can mix with the beverage, lowering the overall alcohol concentration. However, if ice cubes are made from an alcoholic mixture and then frozen, they will contain alcohol, but standard ice cubes made from water will not.


Do you need to boil the water before making the ice cubes?

This will depend on the source of your water. In most developed countries, it is not necessary to boil water before freezing it for ice cubes because the water is safe to drink. However, in developing countries that don't have consistent safe pathogen-free water, you should boil the water to kill any of the bacteria in it before freezing it into ice cubes.


Why does ice cubes float in your drink but crushed ice sinks and blocks your straw?

Because ice is lighter than water


Why do ice cubes stick together at times?

A cold glass of water sometimes causes water vapour from the surrounding air to condense onto the surface of the glass. The same thing happens with ice cubes, but instead the water droplets condensing on the surface, they will instantly freeze and 'weld' ice cubes together. They also can stick together if put into a drink, where again, the water in the drink near the surface of the ice cube may get cold enough to freeze and cause the ice cubes to fuse together.


How can I keep a cooler cold for a longer period of time?

To keep a cooler cold for a longer period of time, you can use ice packs or frozen water bottles instead of ice cubes, pre-chill the cooler before adding items, keep the cooler in a shaded area, limit opening and closing the cooler frequently, and use a cooler with thick insulation.


What happens if you put ice n a drink to cool it off?

The cold water molicules (or ice molicules) abosorb the heat of the drink and begin to move faster. however the drink is not warm enough for the drink to melt the ice cubes completely. the over all effect is that all of the molicules in the drink slow down thus becoming colder.


What happens when warm water is poured into a beaker of ice cubes?

The warm water will melt the ice cubes, causing them to turn into liquid water. The temperature of the water in the beaker will gradually decrease as the heat from the warm water is transferred to the ice, until eventually the ice cubes are fully melted and the water reaches thermal equilibrium.
