What happens to the thermal energy if you drop an ice cube in a warm drink and it melts?

As water and ice have different temperatures, if we add them together then there will be an exchange of heat, due to which ice starts melting and water becomes cold. The heat required to melt the molecules of ice is provided by the molecules of water and this heat is the latent heat of fusion.

∙ 6y agoHeat (thermal energy) in the warm drink transfers to the ice until they are the same temperature.As the ice gains thermal energy, it will warm up and melt.

What happens when dry ice melts?
Rather than melts, dry ice evaporates. This process is called sublimation and happens at a slower rate than the melting of water ice.
What happens at 32 fahrenheit?
Water freezes. Ice melts.
The change in which ice absorbs energy and melts is a?
Endothermic reactions are those in which energy is absorbed during the reaction. Exothermic reactions are those in which heat is evolved during the reactions.When ice melts its absorbs energy in the form of heat so why it melts,
When ice melts to form liquid energy is?
released
What happens when an ice cube melts?
in the solid state of water {ice} the molecules are well orderly arranged .as thermal energy decreases the freedom for movement of molecules are affected. Thus when temperature increases the thermal energy of molecules increasesand they began to move in random motion. that is the melting of ice.
What happens to the thermal energy when a solid melts?
Nothing.
What happens when the thermal energy of a solid increases?
It either gets hotter, or it melts.
What happens to the molecules in a substance when thermal energy is removed?
It's vibrates and then melts
How the energy of matter changes when it melts.?
When a solid melts, it is due to an increase in thermal energy to the temperature at which it melts.
What happens what thermal energy is added top matter?
Then it will either get hotter, or its phase will change (as when ice melts).
What happens when a object gains thermal energy?
Then it will either get hotter, or change its phase (for example, when ice melts).
Does melting los or gain thermal energy?
A solid melts when it gains enough thermal energy.
How does the thermal energy of solid water change as its melts?
The thermal energy of the water increases as it melts, changing from a solid (ice) to liquid water. For a solid to melt, it is necessary for it to absorb energy from its surroundings.
How the thermal energy of solid water change as it melts?
The thermal energy of the water increases as it melts, changing from a solid (ice) to liquid water. For a solid to melt, it is necessary for it to absorb energy from its surroundings.
What type of thermal energy melts ice cream?
heat
What kind of energy is involved when ice melts?
Thermal (heat).
Does thermal energy increase when butter melts?
Yes, because butter is melting
