How much ice melts?

Answer 1

Under standard atmospheric conditions it just needs a temperature above 0˚C and time. If you have a defined mass or ice and external temperature you could find the time required to melt the ice. what may also help is that the latent heat of fusion for water ( the energy required to melt ice) is 334 kJ/kg so if you times that by your mass in kg you will find the energy needed to melt the amount of ice you have.

Answer 2

That depends on what you are trying to melt.

Heat is needed to melt something (going from the solid phase to the liquid phase) during melting the introduction of heat cannot be observed as a temperature change, as the temperature remains constant during the process. The latent heat of fusion is the enthalpy change of any amount of substance when it melts.

Answer 3

The amount of ice that melts depends on various factors such as temperature, time, and surface area exposed to heat. Generally, a fixed amount of ice will melt completely into water when exposed to temperatures above its melting point.

Answer 4

To melt ice the temperature has to be above zero degrees Celsius, or 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 5

For ice to melt, is must be at least 32.0000000....1 degrees F.

Answer 6

32F/0C, though it can be a little colder when the sun is hitting it.

Answer 7

Independent on the quantity, all the mass of an ice block melt if the temperature is greater than 0 0C.

Answer 8

Above freezing point.
