If you do that, the penny will sink to the bottom. To make it look like the penny is suspended in the cube, do this:

Fill a space in the ice cube tray (glass, whatever) half full of water, put it in the freezer. In an hour or so it will begin to freeze; it will get a crispy layer of ice on top. Put the penny on this layer, fill with COLD water (hot will melt the forming ice). Put it back in the freezer. - Kate_mc ------

When an ice cube melts does it have the same mass as before?

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.


If an ice cube at 0 0 c melts to water by absorbing heat if 10.5 cal of heat is required to melt ice how much energy must be lost to freeze water at 0 0 c to ice?

Q = mcΔT Q = (35.9 g) (4.184 J/(g*K)) (19.5 oC - 45.0 oC) (1 K / 1 oC) Q = (35.9 g) (4.184 J/(g*K)) (-25.5 K) Q = -3.83 * 103 J Q = -3.83 kJ The water has lost 3.83 kJ of energy, and this energy was supplied to the ice cube to melt it. A reasonable extension to the question would be to ask what was the mass of the ice cube added. This can be calculated with the molar enthalpy of fusion of ice: 6.01 kJ/mol m = (3.83 kJ)/(6.01 kJ/mol) * (18.02 g / 1 mol) m = 11.5 g I think this also answers your other questions.


Does an ice cube melt quicker as it gets smaller?

Melting of an ice cube mainly depends on the temperature of surrounding. If the larger ice cube is put at 50 degrees Celsius and small one at 25 degree Celsius the large ice cube will melt faster than the smaller one. Ice cube draws energy from the surrounding which causes it to melt and so temperature of surrounding is very important


Could you continue breaking an ice cube into smaller and smaller pieces of ice?

Continuing to break an ice cube into smaller pieces will eventually lead to ice particles that may not hold their shape and will simply melt into water as they get smaller. This is because the molecular structure of ice is disrupted as it is broken down, ultimately losing its solid form.

How do you tell if your freezer is broken?

To tell if your freezer is broken you put an ice cube in a small container and put a penny on top of the ice cube. then you put it in the freezer. After a couple days you check it. If the ice has melted and the penny is no longer on top of the ice cube then you should probably check your food in your freezer and get your freezer fixed.


How does temperature affect an ice cube?

Temperature affects an ice cube by either melting it or freezing it. If the temperature is warmer than the ice cube's melting point, the ice will melt into water. If the temperature is colder than the ice cube's freezing point, the water will freeze and the ice cube will grow.
