An ice cube sinks in alcohol because alcohol is less dense than water. The ice cube, being made of frozen water, has a higher density than alcohol, causing it to sink in the less dense liquid.
There are many reasons, the one i can think of is its specific heat constant is different.* * * * *Don't know the true answer but the above is not it.
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.
No, "ice cube" is not a compound word. It is a combination of two separate words, "ice" and "cube," used together to describe a specific object.
A colored ice cube may melt faster than a normal ice cube because the color absorbs more sunlight, which increases the heat energy absorbed by the ice cube. This additional heat energy speeds up the melting process compared to a normal ice cube.
The time it takes for an ice cube to melt in water depends on factors such as the temperature of the water, the size of the ice cube, and the number of ice cubes. On average, a small ice cube will melt in a few minutes in room temperature water.
Ice cubes typically float in water because ice is less dense than liquid water. However, some types of alcohol have a lower density than water, which means ice will sink in alcohol since it is denser than the alcohol.
Rubbing alcohol, because water takes out all of the coolness of an ice cube whistle rubbing alcohol keeps it in.
because it do why you need to know
To measure density
The alcohol will lower the freezing point of the water, causing the ice cube to melt faster than it would in water alone. The alcohol-water mixture will create a solution with a lower freezing point, leading to quicker melting of the ice cube.

Ice cubes float in water because they are less dense than liquid water. When water freezes, it forms a rigid crystalline structure that spaces out the water molecules, making the ice cube less dense and causing it to float on the denser liquid water.

a ice cube in alcohol would melt fastest because of the heating molecules contracting with the ice cube molecules
Ice cubes are denser than cork. To test this yourself, take an identical size cube of each one, and weigh each on accurate scales. The cube of ice will weigh more than the cube of cork. Since density is weight (or mass) divided by volume, and the 2 volumes are the same, the ice is denser than the cork. Or, you could take an identical size sphere of each and lower them both into cold water. A visual inspection will show the obvious differences. The one that floats higher will be the one that's less dense (the cork).
