How fast does ice cream melt?

Answer 1

Quickly
It depends on what tempuratures it is put in to melt. If it is a very warm tempurature, such as lying an ice cube on hot pavement, it will melt rather speedily. On the contrary, if you were to set an ice cube in the refrigerator, where it is only slightly warmer than the freezer, the ice would melt much more slowly. It varies.

Answer 2

Snow melts depending on two things, the temperature, obviously, but also on the humidity. First the temperature part. Snow is basically ice which needs energy (heat) to melt it. How fast it melts depends on the amount of snow, and its exposure due to surface area. 1 g of ice in a cube will take longer to melt than 1 g of snowflakes because the flakes have way more surface area, so more of them are exposed to the warmer air. 80cal/gram is the heat of fusion so you need at least 80 cal to melt 1 g of ice, or else it won't all melt.

Next the humidity part, ice can sublimate in dry conditions. Although this technically is a bypass of the melting step, it still disappears by evapourating directly from the solid state. It's slow, and it still requires energy, of course.

Answer 3

The speed at which ice cream melts depends on factors such as temperature, humidity, and the composition of the ice cream. Generally, ice cream will start to melt within a few minutes in warm conditions.

Answer 4

you can't really tell how long ice can melt ut if your at a tropical country it should only take about 3-5 mins. and for other countries like u.s and Canada it take about 5-15 mins.

Answer 5

Every split second. You will barely even notice! :)

Answer 6

It depends on the size of the ice cube and the temperature surrounding it.

Answer 7

It depends on the size of the ice cubes and the surrounding temperature.
