because the water vapour in the air touches a cold surface such as glass and then turns back into water on the cold surface and this process is called condensation

Does the water in a glass of icewater rise as the ice melts?

In physics terms, yes. Ice has a negative heat, which when added to water, the negative heat is then transferred into the water, cooling it off. Then the opposite becomes true as well. The heat of the water acts to melt the ice, then reach thermal equilibrium, which happens only when both the "ice" and the water are the same temperature.


What happens when ice melts in a glass?

When ice melts in a glass, it changes from a solid state to a liquid state. The ice absorbs heat from the surroundings, causing the molecules to move faster and break free from their rigid structure. As a result, the ice turns into water.


Why does a ice cube melt in a glass of water?

The ice cube melts in a glass of water because heat is transferred from the surrounding water to the ice cube, causing the ice to absorb energy and increase in temperature, eventually melting into water. This process is known as heat transfer through conduction.


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.


When ice melts it becomes?

H2O is produced when ice melts. That is an Endothermic change.Because warmer heat is entering the ice cube so that then causes the ice cube to melt. This is also a Physical change anything that melts is physical and you can reverse what you did! Science is AWESOME!

A glass full of water contain ice cubes floating in it .What will happen to the water level when ice melts?

When the ice melts the water level will rise. The water level will increase because Ice is frozen water and when the ice melts, it turns to water, which means more water will be added to the glass.


When an ice cube in a glass of water melts the water level in the glass?

The water level remains the same after the ice cube melts because the volume of the ice cube is already accounted for in the water level when it is frozen. When the ice melts, it simply changes state from solid to liquid without changing the overall volume in the glass.


Will water pour out of the glass when the ice melts into a full glass of water?

If he glass was full and you put ice cubes in it would overflow strait away.


When all ice in a glass of water melts the level of water in the glass?

Stays the same (assuming that all the ice was floating to begin with).


What will happen if ice in kept in glass of water does the level of water will rise or not?

yes, becuse when ice melts it becoms water.Answer:When ice is added to a glass of water the level will rise. After that, as the ice melts the level will decline. When water freezes it expands, so when it thaws back to a liquid it shrinks.


What does ice do in a glass of water?

First it floats, then it melts and makes the water colder.


Does the glass overflow when its filled to the brim and ice melts?

It depends on how much ice was in the glass and how much water it created as it melted. If the ice displaces enough water to raise the water level near the brim, then it could overflow once the ice melts and adds more water.

When ice cube floating in a tumbler of water melts completely why there is no overflow of water?

Its actually quite simple. The answer would be Anomalous expansion of Water, which means that the volume the Ice cubes are consuming in a glass filled upto the brim is more than water alone. When Ice melts and comes back into water form, it uses lesser volume (space) in the glass. Hence it does not allow the glass to overflow as the person pouring into the glass had poured in keeping into view the level of the ice (which uses more volume).


How much of water would there be when ice melts in glass or plastic after eighteen minutes?

It depends on how much ice you have
