Why does a glass of ice cubes in water melt faster than a glass of ice cubes in a glass of soda?
Ice cubes that are in water are in full contact with a liquid medium with high rate of heat transfer. in soda, some of the surface of the ice is in contact with gas bubbles that have low rate of heat transfer. Liquid transfers heat (melting the ice) faster than air.
Is a ice cube more or less dense than liquid water?
Ice cubes are less dense than liquid water, which is why they float.
Which glass has the most water one half full of water or one half full of water and ice cubes?
Pick an answer: a) For both glasses, the water is about the same temperature, say just above 32F. Then the glass without ice has the most water by mass. b) The glass with only water is quite hot, say just below boiling. The glass with water and ice cubes is just about at 32F and the volume of ice is very small (less than 2%). The the glass with water and ice could have more water by mass. c) By definition, water refers to H2O in its solid form. By definition, ice refers to H2O in its solid form. So, "by definition", the half full glass with ice will always have less water by volume.
What is less compact ice or water?
Ice. A give weight of frozen water will occupy a large volume than the same weight of liquid water.
Is ice more or less dense than than liquid water?
Ice is less dense than water at the same pressure. That is why ice cubes and icebergs float on the water.
Why do ice cubes always float a the top of the glass of water?
Ice is less dense than water and will float on water.
Why does ice cubes float on top of water?
Ice cubes are less dense than water.
Do ice cubes in water float or sink?
They float, as ice is less dense than water.
Why do ice cubes float in drinks and water?
Because ice cubes are less dense than water.
What is a way to see that ice is less dense then liquid water?
Put ice cubes in a glass of water. They will float, indicating that they are less dense than liquid water.
Why don't iceburgs sink?
Ice is less dense than liquid water, so it floats. This is the same reason why ice cubes float in a glass of water.
Why doesn't ice float?
Ice does float, but if you put in multiple ice cubes, the ice cubes underneath can't push up over and on top, so it looks like they're floating in the middle of the glass.
Is liquid water less dense than ice cubes?
No. Liquid water is more dense. This is why ice cubes float on liquid water.
Is ice or water less dence?
ICE ... Think of a glass of water with ice cubes in it. They float! Water actually expands when it is frozen, making it less dense.
Do icecubes float?
Ice Cubes do float! This is because the density of ice is less than the density of liquid water.
What does the outside of the glass with ice cubes feel like?
It feels like ice , and glass like . · The glass filled with cold water and ice cubes felt cold on the outside as well.
Ice cubes float at the top of a glass of water What does this tell you about the density of ice compared to the density of water?
icecubes are less dense than water because when water freezes it expands giving it greater volume but the same mass
