How long does it take sand to melt ice?

It depends on the temperature of the sand and the ice! Sand does not dissolve in water to any significant extent, so that mixing sand with ice will not lower the melting point of the ice. If there is a sufficient amount of sand and it has a temperature above the freezing point of water, sand will eventually melt ice by heat conduction from the sand to the ice. If the sand has a lower temperature than the ice, mixing them will never produce melting of the ice.

Why do sand take longer to melt ice then salt?

The reason why it takes sand to melt ice longer than salt does, is because salt draws or absorbs the moisture in the ice faster than sand that just has a rough texture. Yes, there is salt particles in sand but not as much as normal salt by itself.


How much energy does it take to melt ice?

Heat because Ice and water would thaw out and begin to heat up


How much heat would it take to melt a kg block of ice?

It would take approximately 334,000 Joules of heat to melt a 1 kg block of ice at 0 degrees Celsius. This energy is required to break the bonds holding the ice molecules together and transition from a solid to a liquid state, known as the heat of fusion.


How much energy is required to melt 10g of ice?

The energy required to melt ice is known as the heat of fusion, which is about 334 joules per gram. Therefore, it would take approximately 3340 joules of energy to melt 10g of ice.


Average time to melt milk chocolate?

It varies based on how you melt it and how much chocolate you are melting with what heat amount. In the microwave, it will take 2 to 3 minutes (stirring at 30 second intervals). In a double-boiler method over medium-high heat, it should take 5 to 10 minutes.


How long does ti take to melt a block of ice 3ftx3ftx1ft?

The time to melt a block of ice depends on various factors such as temperature, heat source, and insulation. With a constant heat source, it could take several hours to a few days to melt a block of ice that size. The larger the surface area exposed to the heat source, the quicker the ice will melt.


How much heat does it take to melt 2 kg of mercury?

The heat required to melt 2 kg of mercury can be calculated using its specific heat capacity (0.14 J/g°C) and its melting point (−38.83°C). The formula Q = mcΔT can be used to find the heat needed, where Q is the heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.
