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!

What chemical reaction happens to sugar when you heat it?
What happens to sugar upon heating it depends on how hot you heat it and how quickly. If you are exceedingly (!) carefully, it will melt and turn into a liquid. If you are not so careful, it will turn into caramel, which is actually slightly burned sugar. When sugar is heated, it melts into a brown liquid, boils and turns into a black solid. Droplets of colorless liquid is seen at the cooler sides of the test tube. The solid is carbon.
