Why does a mixture of water and ice stay the same temperature while the water melts the ice?

The heat going into the ice initially breaks the hydrogen bonds between water molecules, during which the temperature remains constant. Once the hydrogen bonds are broken, the heat will go into melting the ice and the temperature will increase.

How can you melt a huge ice cube with a blow torch?
It depends on the type of glass, size, and how hot your torch gets. some glass melts at a 105 degrees fahrenheit. also some melts at an hire temperature than some, and it might take a while before it melts.
What happens to the temperature when a substance is melting?
For most substances, it's the same temperature. For example, ice melts at 0°C (273K), and water freezes also at 0°C. A few substances, such as agar, have a hysteresis. For example, agar melts at 85°C; to solidify it again, you have to cool it down to about 32-40°C.
Is adding ice to a styrofoam cooler going to change the temp of canned drinks?
no it will just keep the drinks cold longer
How would you separate a mixture of sand an salt?
Pour water into the mixture, let the salt dissolve.Then, put the wet-salty water-sand mixture through a sifter/filter.Take out the sand from the filter and dry it. COMPONENT 1 - SANDBoil the salt water solution and evaporate the water. The residue will be salt. COMPONENT 2 SALTDissolve the mixture in water first, before filtering the resultant solution. The residue is the sand, while the filtrate is the salt solution.
What is the temperature at which a solid changes state into a liquid?
The condensation temperature is a characteristic of the gas that is different for ever gas or gas mixture. Atmospheric pressure and temperature differential also affects condensation temperature.
Where does the energy come from to melt ice?
Usually from the surrounding air, meaning that while the ice melts, the surrounding air will cool down. Or water, if the ice is in water.Usually from the surrounding air, meaning that while the ice melts, the surrounding air will cool down.

Sodium chloride melting point reduced by adding calcium chloride?
Yes, a mixture containing 42% NaCl and 58% CaCl2 melts at about 590 Celsius while pure sodium chloride melts at about 800 Celsius.
How can you compare kool-aid and water?
kool-aid is a mixture while water is a compund.
What happens to the temperature while the water is in the process of freezing?
the temperature increases
What is the point at which a liquid changes to a solid?
There is no "official point" at which liquid will turn into a solid. For example water turns into a solid at 0°C, while Iron melts at 1536°C , therefore solidifying at a temperature slightly lower than that.
How long will fish last frozen in water?
frozen water can last forever as long as the temperature doesn't go up

Does water increase in temperature while converting to ice?
While actually converting to ice (at 0 degrees C or 32 degrees F), the temperature of water does not change. Once it is ice, the temperature can go down. Likewise, while converting to water(at 0 degrees C or 32 degrees F), the temperature of ice does not change. Once it is water, the temperature can go up.
What evidence might you have that a change of state requires the use of heat of energy that would otherwise cause the temperature to increase?
You can heat ice, for example, and measure the temperature while it melts. You should notice that you heat it for quite a while, but that the temperature doesn't increase until all the ice is melted.

Is sandy water a solution or a mixture?
Sandy water is a mixture. In a mixture, the individual parts do not combine chemically and each substance is visible, while in a solution, the individual parts combine chemically and are not seperately visible.
