How is melting sugar different from melting an ice cube?
Because melting sugar turns color to form caramel. i.e. it has changed and specifically it has undergone a CHEMICAL CHANGE (Or chemical reaction). When melting ice, no chemical reaction occurs, and so it is just a PHYSICAL CHANGE.
List 3 physical changes?
a physical change is anything that can be undone. for example: -melting an ice cube (the water can be refrozen into the ice cube) -bending a piece of metal (the metal can be bent back into shape) -moving a block from one place to another (it can be moved back)
Why if you left an ice cube and salt at the sun the ice cube melts and the salt doesnt?
Because the melting temperature of the ice is 32°F and the melting temperature of the salt is 1,474°F.
How long can you keep a ice cube from melting?
Forever if you leave them in the freezer! But it melts in hours.
Why does ice melt in your hand and make your hand cold?
your body temperature is higher than that of an ice cube's, so your fast-moving molecules in your hand hit the slow-moving molecules in the ice cube, warming it up. the transfer of ice to water is just to let the atoms and molecules move about free-er in liquid form.
What is a melting ice cube's kinetic energy?
A melting ice cube's kinetic energy comes from the movement of the water molecules as they transition from a solid to a liquid state. This energy is relatively low due to the slow and gradual process of melting.
Does UV light affect the melting of an ice cube?
UV light can contribute to the melting of an ice cube by transferring energy to the ice cube, causing it to absorb the energy and melt faster. The UV light can increase the temperature of the ice cube, accelerating the melting process compared to no exposure to UV light.
How can you keep an ice cube from melting?
store the ice in a cool storing place
How is melting a sugar cube different from melting a ice cube?
Due to their varying melting points (ice 32 and sugar 366°)
How is melting sugar different from melting an ice cube?

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
Why is the puddle underneath a melting ice cube as cold as the ice cube itself?
The answer is that the system is in 'equilibrium'. More exactly thermal equilibrium. Ice and Water can both form at 0C and 1 ATM. When two things are touching, they are at equilibrium with each other. Since the ice cube has had enough time to melt, it has had enough time to reach equilibrium with the water and is at 0C.
Why is a melting ice cube a physical shape?
A melting ice cube is a physical change, because the ice cube is only changing size, shape, volume and state of matter.It's not a chemical change, because it's not changing into a different kind of matter with different properties.
What happens when a ice cube when it had disappeared?
When an ice cube disappears, it is melting into water as it absorbs heat energy from its surroundings. The molecules of the ice cube gain enough energy to break apart from their solid state and become liquid water.
Why does a coloured ice cube melt faster than normal ice cube?
A colored ice cube may melt faster than a normal ice cube because the color absorbs more sunlight, which increases the heat energy absorbed by the ice cube. This additional heat energy speeds up the melting process compared to a normal ice cube.
How does thermal energy transfer melt an ice cube at room temperature?
Thermal energy from the surrounding room causes the ice cube to absorb heat, causing its temperature to increase. Once the ice cube reaches its melting point, the thermal energy break the bonds between the water molecules in the ice, turning it into liquid water.
Can sawdust keep a ice cube from melting?
Sawdust can help insulate the ice cube and slow down the melting process, but it won't completely prevent the ice cube from melting. The insulating properties of the sawdust reduce the transfer of heat to the ice cube, which can help keep it colder for longer.
