the answer above is true. the more surface area the shape of the ice cube has makes it melt faster. take a cube ice cube for instance. it has 6 sides so it would have more surface area then per say a sphere, which has no flat surface.
An ice cube is a frozen diamond, preserving its coolness until it melts away.
Yes, the mass of the melted ice cube remains the same as the original ice cube. When ice melts, it undergoes a phase change from a solid to a liquid, but the total amount of matter remains constant.
All ice cubes melt at the same rate, regardless of their color. The melting process is dependent on factors such as temperature and heat transfer, not the color of the ice cube.
I think. It got its name because it's a crystal shaped as a cube
Mercury is a liquid at room temperature, so it cannot hold a fixed shape like a solid material. It would simply flow and take the shape of its container, making it impossible to create a stable cube out of Mercury.
no it doesnt just the size does.
A cube can only have one shape "cubic" - (someone has asked you a trick question). However, certainly the rate at which a piece of solid ice melts IS affect by its shape, the greater the surface area of the piece of ice, the faster it will melt.
yes it affects the way it melts because of the difference in the capacity and the shape.
if it was a cube ice it wil melt slower and if its long slab will melt faster:)
No, not at all- the rate of melt of an ice-cube is entirely down to temeprature.
As an ice cube melts, it transitions from a solid state to a liquid state. This means that its shape changes as the solid structure breaks down and the molecules move more freely, conforming to the shape of the container it's in.
As long as each differently shaped ice cube is the same volume of water, letting it sit out in the sun should take the same amount of time. Melting it in other ways, like using a frying pan, will affect how quickly it melts.
Definetely! Bigger cubes melt slower.
The rate in which an ice cube melts is dependent on the temperature of the outside air. The hotter it is the faster ice will melt. The color of a cup or dish will not affect the melting process.
I think it might have to do with ambient heat.
it melts
When it melts it is a liquid![:
