Not as good as without the ice and most likely the ice stopped the boilng until it melted and the heat applied brought the water again up to boiling tempertatures.

Now if you insist on getting the water to boil with ice, there is one other scenario where this can occur. Since, boiling in the strictest sense describes the process whereby a substance undergoes a change of state from liquid to gas. (This process is more appropriately termed evaporation). In order to get water to boil with ice inside of it, this means you have to effectively lower the temperature at which the water will boil. This can be achieved by lowering the surrounding air pressure. By decreasing air pressure you effectively decrease the amount of energy water molecules need to break the water surface tension to become water vapor. This is the reason why mountaineers at high altitudes cannot cook raw food in water.

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 is it that when water freezes some of the ice is white and some of it is clear?

It is simply air bubbles trapped in the ice. Boil water, let it cool, then freeze it. The ice should be completely clear.


Can I drink boiled water?

It is possible to have boiling ice water. If the pressure is increased enough, the melting temperature will also increase (the bonds would need more energy to break). Some molecules will have the required energy to vaporize near the surface while much of the water is still ice.


What melts ice melt faster and why?

heat makes ice melt faster because if you put an ice cube on a pan ,turn on the oven, turn it to 50 degrees f (above 0oc to melt ice), the ice will melt and if you turn the oven to 212 degrees f (above 100oc, depending on altitude. The higher your altitude the lower the temperature needed to boil water, it is harder to heat water though) the water will start to boil.


Why would water boil at the top of a tube without the ice melting?

Water can boil at the top of a tube without the ice melting due to a decrease in pressure in that area, which lowers the boiling point of water. If the pressure at the top of the tube is significantly reduced, the water can transition to a gas phase (boil) even at temperatures below 0°C. Additionally, the presence of ice at the bottom can maintain a temperature below freezing, preventing it from melting while the water above it boils. This phenomenon can be observed in vacuum conditions or when localized heating occurs.


How can I make ice cubes using boiled water?

To make ice cubes using boiled water, simply boil the water first and then let it cool down to room temperature. Pour the cooled boiled water into an ice cube tray and place it in the freezer until the water freezes into ice cubes.


When liquid water is exposed to 32 ferinheight it?

When liquid water is exposed to 32 degrees Fahrenheit, it freezes and turns into ice. This is the temperature at which water undergoes a phase change from liquid to solid.


If you have a gallon of water and want to freeze part and boil the rest then mix them back together after the ice melts you want it to be about 70F what portions would you freeze and boil?

What is an ice cube boiloing point?

Ice is water, so if you heated it it would melt into liquid water before it could boil. The boiling point of water, of course, is 100 Celsius or 212 Fahrenheit (at sea level).


Can water boil at a freezing point?

Absolutely, if the pressure of the system is low enough water will boil even at it's normal freezing point.
