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.
Yes, ice cubes will float higher in alcohol compared to water because alcohol is less dense than water. This causes the ice cubes to displace more liquid when placed in alcohol, leading them to float higher.
Because ice is denser than the oil and alcohol.
There is nothing special about alcohol -- anything that is in contact with ice that is warmer than 0 °C will melt ice cubes (as long as the mass of warm object is comparable to the mass of the ice -- obviously a cup of warm water won't melt the ice on an entire lake for instance).When two objects of different temperatures are put in contact (as when you put ice cubes in a drink), the warmer one will always transfer heat to the cooler one. If the warmer one transfers enough heat to melt the ice cubes, then they melt! If not, they might just partially melt.It's actually possible to add ice cubes to alcohol and not have them melt at all! The freezing point of alcohol is well below 0 °C, and so you can have liquid alcohol be much colder than frozen ice cubes. If you add an ice cube to alcohol that is colder than the ice cube, the ice cube will be cooled by the alcohol!
No, consuming ice cubes will not help you pass a breathalyzer test. The only way to pass a breathalyzer test is to abstain from consuming alcohol.
Reusable ice cubes are typically filled with distilled water or a non-toxic gel (such as polyethylene glycol) that can freeze and keep drinks cold without diluting them as traditional ice cubes would. Some reusable ice cubes are also filled with a non-toxic gel that can retain cold temperatures longer than water.
Why turn them into plain clear ice cubes when u can have colorful ice cubes? colorful ice cubes are awesome
Actually anything that dissolves in water will melt ice. Even sugar!! or alcohol!!
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.
Well... assuming that the ice cubes you're consuming are only made of water then no, they're not at all fattening. Although I suppose if you ate so many of them that you started to retain water then you might experience some unpleasant bloating.
Ice cubes do not take the shape of their container because they are solid and maintain a fixed shape due to the rigid arrangement of their molecules. Unlike liquids, which can flow and conform to the shape of their container, solids have strong intermolecular forces that keep their structure intact. As a result, ice cubes retain their cubic form regardless of the container they are placed in.
Ice cubes are solid water.
Water :)
