A glass of ice can be put in a microwave and the unit used to melt the ice and even boil the water. Microwaves act on the hydrogen-oxygen bonds in the water molecule. And just because the water has changed state from liquid to solid doesn't mean the bonds will not be affected by the microwave energy. The ice will be heated to melting and beyond. It is perfectly safe to thaw a cup of ice in a microwave oven, though it may be decried by some as a waste of energy.

How do you get the marble out of a ramune bottle?

Get a lever and put it in the gap of the cap of the ramune bottle and use a LOT of strength to flip the cap up. Or you can try to melt it using a lighter. The easiest way is to throw it out on the sidewalk. Worked for me. :)


Why does wasting plastic affect greenhouse gases?

If you waste plastic, like throwing a plastic drink bottle into landfill, instead of recycling it, you add a small amount to greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere.This is because it takes energy to make plastic, which is made from oil. It takes much less energy to take a used bottle, melt it and remould it into a new bottle. So recycling saves energy, most of which at the moment comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). And burning fossil fuels, as you know, releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.
