it will melt slowly
The ice melts and the water gets cooler.
Ice cubes typically float in water because ice is less dense than liquid water. However, some types of alcohol have a lower density than water, which means ice will sink in alcohol since it is denser than the alcohol.
If an ice cube is left out of the refrigerator, it will begin to melt due to the surrounding warmer temperatures. As it melts, the solid ice transforms into water, and the process continues until the ice cube completely dissolves. Depending on the ambient temperature and humidity, this can happen relatively quickly. Eventually, the water will reach a temperature close to that of the environment.
a ice cube in alcohol would melt fastest because of the heating molecules contracting with the ice cube molecules
It would eventually melt, and somewhat cool the water.
An ice cube sinks in alcohol because alcohol is less dense than water. The ice cube, being made of frozen water, has a higher density than alcohol, causing it to sink in the less dense liquid.
Rubbing alcohol, because water takes out all of the coolness of an ice cube whistle rubbing alcohol keeps it in.
The ice melts and the water gets cooler.
To measure density
Ice cubes float in water because they are less dense than liquid water. When water freezes, it forms a rigid crystalline structure that spaces out the water molecules, making the ice cube less dense and causing it to float on the denser liquid water.
There are many reasons, the one i can think of is its specific heat constant is different.* * * * *Don't know the true answer but the above is not it.
if you were to add water an ice cube an olive oil the water would be on the bottom and the oil would be on top and the ice cube wuld float inside of the olive oil.
First of all, if the water is frozen, then you can't put an ice cube into it. Secondly, if you put an ice cube in liquid then froze it then it would become part of the liquid that froze.
in water or anything which is denser than ice
Ice cubes typically float in water because ice is less dense than liquid water. However, some types of alcohol have a lower density than water, which means ice will sink in alcohol since it is denser than the alcohol.
The water level lowers. See the Related Question below for additional info.
