The rate of melting of a solid is determined by (1) the difference between the melting point of the liquid and the temperature of the heat source providing the energy for melting, (2) the heat conductivities of the solid and liquid forms of the substance being melted, and (3) the heat of fusion of the substance being melted. If these factors are kept constant, any liquid will melt as the same speed. In practice, under common conditions, water melts more slowly than most other substances, because it has a very high heat of fusion.
What else can I help you with?
When a solid melts does the volume of the liquid?
Usually, a liquid is less dense than a solid, so when a solid melts its volume increases. However, this is not true for water or water-based liquids, because the H bonds make liquid water highly structured and therefore denser than expected.
When ice melts its density?
When ice melts, its density increases. Ice has a lower density than liquid water, which is why it floats. As ice melts, the structured crystalline arrangement of water molecules breaks down, allowing them to pack more closely together in the liquid state. Consequently, the density of water is higher than that of ice, leading to the phenomenon of ice floating on water.
When ice melts will the liquid water occupy more or less volume than the ice?
The liquid has the same mass but less volume than the ice.
When ice melts does it expand?
yes it does. one of the consequences of water due to hydrogen bonding.
Why does liquid water take its shape of the container but an ice cube does not?
Liquid is much more tangible than ice if that's what your asking....
What happens when dry ice melts?
Rather than melts, dry ice evaporates. This process is called sublimation and happens at a slower rate than the melting of water ice.

What happens if a ice cube embedded with a cork melts?
If the ice cube melts, the cork will float on the liquid water that was previously frozen as ice. Cork is less dense than water, so it will float rather than sink.
What is in coke that makes it evaporate slower than water?
Coke is a more viscous liquid than water, this is because water consists of 1 element in liquid form, while coke has solid in it (for exapmle sugar), this prevents it from dissolving too quickly
Is level of water increases when ice melts over it?
Ice in its frozen state has agreater area than liquid water, however as ice melts it does expand, before returning to its smaller area. Water is unique in that it expands when freezing, and again when melting (thus bursting water pies) but does not reatin the volume as a liquid.
When ice is melted the volume of the ice decreases?
When ice melts, it transforms from a solid to a liquid, which results in a decrease in volume. The molecules in the solid ice are packed more tightly than in the liquid water, leading to a lower volume when the ice melts.
When ice melts does it expand?
yes it does. one of the consequences of water due to hydrogen bonding.

Which cold solid is less dense than the liquid when it melts?
Ice is a solid less dense than the liquid
Why does ice cream melt slower than sherbet?
Oh, dude, it's like this - ice cream has a higher fat content than sherbet, so it melts slower because fat takes longer to melt than water-based substances like sherbet. So, if you want your dessert to stick around a little longer, go for the creamy stuff. But hey, either way, it's all gonna end up in your belly eventually, am I right?
