No. Carbonated will melt in a shorter time than water.
Carbonated drinks have dissolved carbonic acid in them, which will lower the freezing point. (This is similar to how adding salt to ice makes it melt at a lower temperature.) So, if two solutions are frozen at the same temperature and then thawed at the same temperature, the carbonated drink will melt first.
Ice will melt faster in drinks with high sugar content or alcohol content, as these substances lower the freezing point of water. However, ice will melt slowest in drinks with low temperatures or high density, such as cold water or carbonated beverages.
Carbonated water EDIT: This is a tough question since both salt water and carbonated water have lower specific heats than fresh water and how much lower depends on how much salt and carbonation is added. However, the carbonated water could potentially have bubbles if it was just depressurized and the extra turbulence would help melt the ice. If the carbonated water was pressurized (no bubbles), it would completely depend on the amount of carbonation and salt.
nothing can make drinks melt.
Water would melt faster than Coke or Sprite because water has a lower sugar content and fewer additives, which allows it to freeze and melt more quickly. Coke and Sprite, being soda drinks with higher sugar and additives, have a slightly lower freezing point and will take longer to melt compared to plain water.
Ice melts faster in carbonated drinks because the dissolved carbon dioxide gas creates tiny bubbles that rise to the surface and help to break the ice into smaller pieces. This increased surface area allows for more rapid heat transfer from the liquid to the ice, causing it to melt faster compared to non-carbonated drinks.
The melting point of the ingredients in your drinks have different values, water tends to be the last part of a drink or drinks to melt. For example Orange juice will start to melt before pure water, because it has started to melt first it has the abilty to take in more heat over a lesser surface area and the liquid will help it to melt faster as well.
Water molecules are V-shaped with a partly negative charge on the oxygens and partly positive charges on the hydrogens. These two factors cause strong bonds between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms of surrounding water molecules, and a higher boiling point to cause enough vibration for them to break apart and vaporize. Carbon dioxide, however, is line-shaped, so it doesn't have the partial charges. Therefore, the bond is weaker between molecules.
Because when you are cooking sauce it's thicker then water so it takes longer to heat.
From what I know, none of these liquids would have any reason to chemically react with ice, so it would all depend on temperature. Assuming that the hot chocolate is the hottest liquid there, it would have to be that. If however, you decided to use boiling water, which was just as hot as the hot chocolate; I suppose the ice would melt just as fast in both.
Drinks with a higher alcohol content, such as vodka or whiskey, would melt ice faster than non-alcoholic beverages because alcohol has a lower freezing point than water. The lower freezing point causes the ice to melt quicker when in contact with higher alcohol content drinks.
That depends on the temperature of the water and the alternate medium, air I suppose. If the water is 33 degrees F and the air is 600 deg. F it would last longer in the water. At 212 deg F water and 33 deg air it would last longer in the air. If both are at the same temperature it will melt faster in water.
No, Coke cannot melt frozen ground. Coke is a carbonated beverage that does not generate enough heat to melt frozen ground. Additionally, the sugar content in Coke would not be effective in melting the ice.
