Salt water: because salt lowers the freezing point of water, less water will freeze onto the ice cube, while the same amount of ice will dissolve into the water. This means that overall, the salt water will thaw it quicker.
we recantly did a experiment in science class where there was a bucket of salt water and a bucket of fresh water (same temperatures) and in each bucket was an ice cube the ice cube in the fresh water melted faster because in salt water there are more perservatives and has more minerals therefore it is more dense and the ice will float closer to the top while the ice cube in the fresh water floats more lower. but i could be wrong
When Salt dissolves into water it requires energy. Some energy is consumed by the process of salt dissolution and the water stays colder (relatively) for a longer time, thus it takes longer for the ice to melt.
The melting rate of an ice depends on the temperature of the surrounding. If the temperature is higher in the surrounding then the ice will melt at a faster rate and if the temperature is low then it will take more time to melt. The process of heat exchange is important whether it is air or water.
The aluminum foil reflects the light and heat away from the ice cube, slowing down the melting process. Without the foil cover, the direct exposure to the light causes the ice cube to absorb more heat, resulting in faster melting.
An ice cube may melt faster on soil compared to a solid surface like concrete or metal due to the soil's ability to absorb and retain heat. Soil has higher thermal conductivity and can transfer heat more efficiently to the ice cube, accelerating the melting process. Additionally, soil may contain organic matter that can further increase the melting rate by providing insulation and trapping heat.
When ice cube is submerged on water...The upthrust created on the ice cube by water is equal to the weight of the displaced water...when the ice cube is melting its volume changes but its weight remains the same and its exactly equal to the weight of displaced water when the ice cube was frozen...therefore the 'volume of of melted water' fits exactly to the 'volume of displaced water when the ice cube was frozen'... So the water level does not change! -Shenal K Mendis ;)
Test it.

No. Salt water melts faster because salt makes the freezing point lower (meaning that it makes it less frozen and the temperature higher) so it can melt faster. Why do you think people put salt on the sidewalk when it snows?
It's because THE TEMPERATURE of the water. The higher temperature the faster melts.
An ice cube melts faster in salt water.
it will depend on which of these waters is hotter. the hotter the water the faster the ice will melt. doesn't matter if the water is fresh or salty. its the temperature of the water that will determine how fast the ice melts.
An ice cube will melt faster in hot water.
Im not sure about time, but add salt or any impurity to a solution will lower its freezing point.
When Salt dissolves into water it requires energy. Some energy is consumed by the process of salt dissolution and the water stays colder (relatively) for a longer time, thus it takes longer for the ice to melt.
A frozen juice cube will likely melt faster than a frozen water cube due to the sugar content in the juice, which lowers its freezing point. The presence of sugar allows the juice cube to start melting at a lower temperature compared to a plain water cube.
