What stays the same when ice melts?
Mass of water
How can melted ice be colder than ice cube?
Ice melts and forms at zero degrees Celsius or thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit. When an ice cube melts, the puddle forming beneath it may be the same temperature or a degree warmer than the ice cube.
Why don't floating ice cubes raise the water level when they melt?
cause whhen ice melts it turns to water that all i should have to say **The previous answer is nonsense. If the dough (or whatever other material you wish to use) is floating in a full cup of water with ice, as the ice melts the level of the cup WILL NOT RISE. Simple physics, ice is less dense than water. Density is equal to mass divided by volume or Density = Mass/Volume Therefore, differentiating between equal masses of water and ice, the melted ice will have LESS volume than the equal (mass) amount of water in the glass thereby having no effect on the overall volume of water in the glass..... to paraphrase the first answer-er ... 'duh'
Dose the shape of an ice cube affect how fast it melts?
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.
When Ice floating on water melts what happens to liquid level and why?
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 ;)
Is it true that when an ice cube melts it loses its mass?
No, when an ice cube melts, the atoms move closer together so it seems like a smaller amount. However, it does not lose mass, the number of atoms are still the same.
Does an ice cube with a certain weight melts and the resulting weight is?
The weight of the water will stay the same whether ice, water or steam, because the mass has not changed.
What stays the same when ice melts?
Mass of water
What happens to an ice cubes particles when the ice cube is melting does the weight remains the same?
As the ice cube is solid , the particles are tightly packed together but as it melts it changes to a liquid so the particles change so that they are like particles in a liquid. the mass is conserved ( stays the same)
Why is energy absorbed when ice melts?
When an ice cube gains energy, it is the same as gaining heat. So if an ice cube is getting warmer, it melts.
How would the density of a sphere and cube compare if the mass of the cube and sphere are the same but the volume of the cube is greater?
If the same mass is contained in a greater volume, that means that the mass is spread thinner, so there's "less mass in each little piece of volume". That's the same as saying "lower density".
How can a cube be made of the same material have the same volume but different mass?
compaction
If you float an ice cube in a glass of water filled to the brim will the water overflow when the ice melts?
The level of the liquid stays the same : the ice is no longer above the water but it takes up less space as water.Ice floats, therefore it is less dense than liquid water. (They are both made of H2O.) As the ice melts it becomes denser, using less space for the same about of mass (water is unlike most substances that become less dense as they melt). So if it takes less space for the same mass, the water level goes down. (The actual mass does not change only its form.) However, the volume of ice above the water level is approximately 12.5% of the total). When this melts you will find that its 'extra' volume causes the final level to be the same as the original one.The science behind this has to do with Archimedes Principle, which states that the mass of the liquid displaced by a floating object is equivalent to the mass of the object. The space taken up by the object under the water is same as the amount of water of the same weight. So in ice cube terms: the volume of the water that the ice cube displaces is the same as the weight of water in the ice cube. Given that these two are exactly the same, the level therefore remains constant.
Do the mass of the ice cube remains unchanged after melting?
Yes, no matter what the state will be, but the final voume's mass is always the same.
What will melt faster- an ice cube or the same mass of crushed ice?
Crushed ice
Does the mass change as a substance goes through a phase change?
Mass is conserved. Volume changes slightly, so density changes as well, but mass remains the same.
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.
