Why there is smoke on top of ice tray?

A very cold ice cube may appear to smoke, but actually what you are seeing is water vapor. The air around the ice cube is cooled by the cold ice cube, and when it cools, water vapor in the air condenses into fog.


How do you keep an ic cube cold with household materials?

Hard plastic, like the used in coolers. It is about the same material as a refrigerator. I did a project on this for another question, so I cut up an old cooler into a cube, then picked up some foam for a second layer over the cube, like the kind of material shaped in a box that you use to ship cold things in the mail.


Why does a ice cube kept in a freezer does not change its shape?

The ice cube remains in its shape in the freezer because the temperature inside the freezer is below the ice cube's melting point, preventing it from melting or changing shape. As long as the temperature stays below freezing, the ice cube will remain solid.


Why does it usually take long for an ice cube to melt?

There are a few factors as to why an ice cube takes its time in melting. The main factors are the size of the ice and the temperature of its surroundings. The larger the piece of ice, the longer it takes to melt. This is because the ice itself is very cold and it takes a while for the temperature to completely melt the whole cube. If it is very small, it is subject to faster melting because the temperature melts the small amount of water easier. The other main factor is the temperature, the closer the temperature is to 0° C, the faster it will melt. There are also other factors like the other contents of the cube, time spent in and out of cold area and even air pressure but those seem irrelevant to this specific answer. Assuming this ice cube is normal sized in room temperature, the reason for the long time would be the fact that the room is around 60-70° F and it takes a while for the ice cube to adjust to the temperature and be affected by it. Once the high temperature of the room act on the below freezing ice cube, they will raise the ice cube's temperature to 0° C and it fully melts. Other Answer: It depends on how big the ice cube is and on the temperature in the room or out side. for example: If i have an ice cube and i set it out side in the snow it will melt it will just take longer because its very cold out side. Or..... If i have an ice cube and i set it in 90 degree weather it will melt a lot faster than in the snow.


How is science related to the melting time of ice cubes?

A lot of factors affect an ice cube, and this can be described using science. For example you can use science to explain the transfer of heat from the ice cube particles to the surrounding air, as cold is transfered to a particle which is hotter, which causes the outer particles of the ice cube to gain hear and to melt etc. :)

Why is the puddle under an ice cube as cold as the ice cube?

The puddle under an ice cube is as cold as the ice cube because the ice cube is melting and releasing its cold temperature into the water, keeping the surrounding water at a low temperature. Heat transfer occurs from the ice cube to the water until thermal equilibrium is reached, resulting in a cold puddle.

What causes the sensation of cold when you touch a ice cube?

When you touch an ice cube, heat is transferred from your skin to the ice cube. This heat transfer lowers the temperature of your skin, triggering nerve endings that sense cold temperature. This sensation of cold is a signal sent to your brain that tells you the ice cube is colder than your skin.
