I am going to assume your talking about Fahrenheit. Which would take 32 degrees Fahrenheit for ice to begin to melt (albeit slowly). If you come from a place that uses Celsius its understandable to be confused by this at it will seem illogical as Celsius is a simpler and a more logical way to measure temperature.
Sand doesn't melt ice to any noticeable degree. However, sand picks up heat from sunlight better than pure ice, which can speed up melting a little bit.
Ice begins to melt at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius). At this point, the temperature is warm enough for the solid ice molecules to gain enough energy to break apart and transition into liquid water.
The speed at which ice melts at 50 degrees Fahrenheit will vary depending on factors such as the size of the ice, exposure to sunlight, and air circulation. Typically, ice will melt faster at higher temperatures, so in a 50-degree environment, ice may melt within a few hours to a couple of days.
Dirt does not melt ice. In fact, dirt can insulate ice, preventing it from melting quickly by forming a barrier between the ice and warmer temperatures. The dark color of dirt can also absorb sunlight and heat, causing the ice to melt more slowly.
Application of heat makes ice melt, so global warming makes lots of ice melt.
80 calories of heat are required to melt one gram of ice without altering the temperature. There are 2267.96 grams in five pounds so you would need 181436.8 calories of heat to melt all that ice without raising the temperature.
at normal temperature above zero degree centigrade

The answer depends on howlarge a block of ice it is.
no it melts at 0 degrees Celsius or higher.
Ice wont melt at temperatures colder than freezing. Any degree above that will make the ice melt exponentially faster. For example: At 35 degrees, ice will remain ice for a long time. At 212 degrees it will disappear rapidly. At 1000 degrees, it will disappear in a puff of water vapor.
If you have water and ice at 32 degree Fahrenheit, their state will depend upon the temp. of the surroundings. If it is >=0 then ice will remain such but water will start to freeze. If it is <0, then the ice will melt and water will remain as such. The first condition is true only if heat isn't being supplied the system at zero degree celsius.
Sand doesn't melt ice to any noticeable degree. However, sand picks up heat from sunlight better than pure ice, which can speed up melting a little bit.
Assuming that the air and water in your question have the same temperature, ice would melt faster in the water, as there is a greater degree of heat transferance in water due to its greater density.
yes
The time it takes to melt ice at 5 degrees Celsius depends on factors such as the amount of ice and the surrounding conditions. Generally, it will take a few minutes to several hours for ice to melt at this temperature.
it will become water If you melt an ice cube it will melt
