Ice packed in saw dust does not melt quickly why?
the sawdust acts as insulation isolating the ice from warm air
How does a blanket kept things warm?
A blanket keeps you warm by containing your body heat, under the blanket, so that your body temperature stays comfortable. It also keeps the colder air from contacting your skin. A blanket creates a air barrier around you and insulates that area. Just like wool socks and thermal underwear, it keeps wind from removing the heat that is trapped there. Wind removes heat faster than most things. To see an example, take an ice cube and place it on a plate, take another and place it on a plate in front of a fan. The ice cube in front of the fan will melt faster because the ambient air is removed. A tent or an igloo serve the same purpose by creating a still air mass.
What is the best way to keep an icecube from melting?
Obviously putting it in the freezer will keep it from melting. Other good insulators are: - Styrofoam - Bubble wrap - Copper
Examples of reversible and irreversible changes?

Can food keep cool underground?
Yes. The temperature is always cooler underground. There have been several people who have made underground homes and gardens. We have one in this area and it gets a 100+ in the summer, but he was able to keep his home and garden cool with no air conditioning because it was underground. Before modern ways to keep food cold people had "root cellars" where they kept food because it would keep the food cooler. In some cases they would put blocks of ice in as well with sawdust to keep it from melting so fast and they could actually keep ice cream there.
What happens when ice is wrapped in saw dust or woolen blanket?
=it melts==it melts==it melts=
How does a blanket keep wrapped ice as ice for a long time?
I think its because of pressure on the ice
Why do saw dust or blanket can prevent ice to melt slower?
The sawdust acts as insulation. But styrofoam or a Dewar flask will work much better.
A ice lolly was placed in a similar jar they wrapped the 2nd jar in a woolen scarf what would the effect be?
Wrapping the second jar with a woolen scarf would insulate the jar, reducing heat transfer to and from the surroundings. This could help the ice lolly in the jar stay frozen for longer compared to the jar that is not insulated.
How do you use sawdust to insulate ice?
Sawdust can be used to insulate ice by surrounding the ice with a thick layer of sawdust, which helps to minimize heat transfer between the ice and its surroundings. The sawdust acts as a barrier, preventing external heat from reaching the ice, thus helping to maintain its low temperature for a longer period. It is important to ensure that the sawdust is tightly packed around the ice to enhance its insulating properties.
Why does Ice packed in sawdust not melt quickly?
Ice packed in sawdust does not melt quickly because sawdust acts as an insulator, reducing heat transfer between the ice and its surroundings. This insulation slows down the melting process by keeping the ice cold and preventing external heat from reaching it easily.
Why are Blocks of ice covered with sawdust?
Blocks of ice are covered with sawdust to help insulate and protect the ice from melting or thawing too quickly. The sawdust provides a layer of insulation that slows down heat transfer, helping the ice to stay colder for longer periods of time.
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.
How do sawdust decrease the melting point of ice?
I think i might now but i need a little help first because i don't speak english that good. What does "sawdust" means?
Why is ice kept in saw dust?
Well, darling, ice is kept in sawdust because sawdust is a fantastic insulator. It helps maintain a stable temperature and slows down the melting process of the ice. So, next time you're enjoying a cold drink, just remember that sawdust is the unsung hero keeping that ice from turning into a sad puddle.
What kind of dress do the people wear in himalayas?
people of the himalayas wear woolen clothes
What happened when sawdust or sugar or salt is added to ice cube?
Adding sawdust to ice cubes will lower the melting point, slowing down the melting process. However, adding sugar or salt will cause the ice cubes to melt faster by lowering the freezing point of water through a process called freezing point depression.
