Would a sugar cube melt fast in a cold cup of water?
No, it wouldn't. a sugar cube would melt a lot faster in a cup of Hot water. the hot water helps it desolve more evenly than cold water.
Does a sphere shaped ice cube melt faster than a regular shaped ice cube?
A cylinder shaped ice cube will melt faster because it has a greater surface area than the rectangle-shaped ice cube has. Cubes of ice with less surface area will melt slower. Ice that has very low surface area has more ice concealed inside than it does on the outside. Therefore, ice cubes that have more surface area will melt faster... I hope this will help you.. :) ..
Does ice melt faster in air or water?
Been answered already.For the same temperaure, the ice will melt faster in the medium that extracts most heat from it.Now, compare the heat conductivity of water and air - you've got your answer!Water, because the heat is carried away up to 4x faster because water molecules are more tighly packed than air. === === There are many variables to this question. What is the temperature of the water? What is the temp of the air? Is either one moving or flowing? Is the air below freezing? An ice cube melts because the ambient layer of air or water around it is changed rapidly. Styrofoam cups and coolers are designed to slow this down. If you take ice that has a fan blowing on it, it will melt faster because the air removes this layer surrounding it and replaces it with a warmer layer.well, technically ice is water, so if the water is liquid, it would melt faster there, however if the air is warm that will melt it quickly too.AnswerThe ice cube in cup that is by itself will melt slower. Ice water will have less kinetic energy, so ice cube in ice water will melt faster. Compared to the cup, the temperature surrounding the cup is much higher than ice water and so kinetic energy will be higher. Thus, causing the ice to melt faster in cup. Thie answer bears on the temperature in the ambient air. If it is -50 C in the room the ice in the cup will not melt. It will, however, evaporate eventually. I guess the ice cube in the ice water would freeze, too, so in that case it's moot. HmmmWater will have more contact with the ice cube and absorbs heat better and hence, will be able to transport or transfer its heat to the cooler ice cube quicker. Initially, both air and water contact surfaces are equal in size. However, just as soon as melting of ice begins, the meltwater " skin " produced reduces the contact surface area of the surrounding warmer air, insulating slightly and absorbing some of the heat itself. As the meltwater flows down and off the ice cube, it is carrying some of that absorbed heat away from the ice, slowing down the overall melting process in air. Interestingly, ice cubes floating in water, will have both air and water contact surfaces. If you could study a side view of the melting ice cube, you would see that the portion below the water surface melts faster ( becomes smaller in size). To compensate for this loss of below-surface mass of the ice cube, it sinks slightly. It appears the air is winning the race but this is not true. The faster heat transfer of the water medium is actually pulling the cube down. This would be clearly demonstrated if you set the cube up (with an onion bag supporting net ) such that it was supported from dropping down lower and lower into the water as it melted. Then you would see the below surface portion virtually disappear. As this happens the top-heavy portion will want to turn turtle to compensate for the disappearing bottom half of the cube.it melts faster in water because I tried it before the person who said that should put more notes down....
Why does an ice cube that is dropped into a glass of water melt?
Because cold slows down the hydrogen and Oxygen atoms (H2O) in water, they become more compressed (frozen). Heat, or temps above 32 degrees, tend to excite these atoms causing them to move apart thus causing them to melt.It only melts IF the environment is above the freezing point...in Antarctica it might never melt.Ice cube melts because when the room is in its normal temperature that is bout 25 degrees it melts the ice and when the ice melts a few minutes later it evaporates
Which will make ice melt qicker ice or salt add to ice?
Hot water, salt can melt an ice cube as well but hot water raises the temperature in the ice cube causing it to go through a phase change referred to as melting thus turning it to a liquid more rapidly than salt could.
Does an ice cube melt faster in warm water than cold water?
Yes.
Will flour water or salt water melt an ice cube faster?
Salt water will melt an ice cube faster than flour water. This is because salt lowers the freezing point of water, causing the ice to melt more quickly. Flour water does not lower the freezing point significantly, so it will melt ice at a slower rate.
Does the ice cube melt faster on water or land?
The melting rate of an ice depends on the temperature of the surrounding. If the temperature is higher in the surrounding then the ice will melt at a faster rate and if the temperature is low then it will take more time to melt. The process of heat exchange is important whether it is air or water.
Which ice cube will melt faster ice cube in water or ice cube in apple juice?
I believe ice cubes in apple juice will melt faster, since water is clear, and juice is red, juice will absorb more sunlight than water will, and therefore heats up faster.
Which ice cube will melt faster one made of salt and water another made of sugar and water or one made from just water?
The ice cube made of salt and water will melt faster than the one made of sugar and water, which in turn will melt faster than the one made from just water. Salt and sugar lower the freezing point of water, which causes the ice to melt faster.
If the ice cube is in water will it melt faster than an ice cube by itself in a cup?
Yes; because the rushing water will use (erosion) to wear it away faster than the temperature surrounding the ice cube in the air will
Which cube melts faster a frozen juice cube or a frozen water cube?
A frozen juice cube will likely melt faster than a frozen water cube due to the sugar content in the juice, which lowers its freezing point. The presence of sugar allows the juice cube to start melting at a lower temperature compared to a plain water cube.
What would melt faster a normal ice cube or a sea water ice cube?
A sea water ice cube would melt faster than a normal ice cube because sea water has a lower freezing point due to the presence of salt. This means that it would require less heat energy to melt the sea water ice cube compared to a normal ice cube.
Which would melt faster an ice cube of water or an ice cube of Coca-Cola?
a ice cube in alcohol would melt fastest because of the heating molecules contracting with the ice cube molecules
Why does a ice cube melt faster in fresh water than salt water?
It's because THE TEMPERATURE of the water. The higher temperature the faster melts.
Suppose you have a glass of water.it has the same temperature as the air. would an ice cube melt faster in water or the air?
The ice cube would melt faster in water than in air. This is because water can transfer heat more efficiently due to its higher thermal conductivity, leading to a faster rate of heat transfer from the water to the ice cube, causing it to melt more quickly.
Would a sugar cube melt fast in a cold cup of water?
No, it wouldn't. a sugar cube would melt a lot faster in a cup of Hot water. the hot water helps it desolve more evenly than cold water.
