yes it does. the more surface tension the cube has, the faster it will melt b/c the more surface tension it has, the more its exposed to its environment or something like that. but the shape of the ice cube does affect the melting time.

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.

Does the shape of an ice cube affect how slow it melts?

no it doesnt just the size does.


Will the shape of an ice cube affect the rate at which it melts?

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.


Where does the shape of an ice cube affect how quickly its melt occur?

yes it affects the way it melts because of the difference in the capacity and the shape.


Why does the shape of an ice cube affect how quickly it melts?

if it was a cube ice it wil melt slower and if its long slab will melt faster:)


Does color affect the rate at which an ice cube melts?

No, not at all- the rate of melt of an ice-cube is entirely down to temeprature.


When a ice cube melts what happens to its shape?

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.


How does a shape of a ice affect how it melts?

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.


Does the size of a ice cube affect how quckily it melts?

Definetely! Bigger cubes melt slower.


Does color effect which an ice cube melts?

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.


What is the third procedure for does color affect the rate in which an ice cube melts?

I think it might have to do with ambient heat.


What happens to the density volume mass and shape of an ice cube put in a glass jar and left out in the sun?

it melts


When a ice cube is a solid and it melts what is it?

When it melts it is a liquid![:
