There isn't any heat, there is only LACK of heat.

The sun warms the lack of heat (ice) until it's just as warm as everything around it.

Does the shae of an ice cube affect how it melts?

The shape of an ice cube can affect how quickly it melts. Ice cubes with a larger surface area will melt faster than ice cubes with a smaller surface area because more of the ice is exposed to the surrounding environment, allowing for faster heat transfer. So a cube-shaped ice cube will generally melt slower than a flat, thin ice cube due to its smaller surface area.


What properties of an ice cube will change when it melts?

If you put a ice cube in a pan in a warm room the two physical properties that will change would be shape. Another property would be density.


Does an ice cube melt faster in hot cold or warm water?

Oh, dude, an ice cube melts faster in warm water, like obviously, because warm water has more energy to transfer to the ice cube, speeding up the melting process. Cold water would just be like, "Nope, not today, ice cube, I'm too chill for you." And hot water would be all like, "I'm too hot to handle, ice cube, I'm melting you whether you like it or not."


Why does an ice cube melt when outside of the freezer?

when the ice cube is taken out of the freezer the warm air or the climate change will have the effect to make it melt because when the ice cube freezes its in a very cold climate at about 32 degrees or cooler and when warm air hits what ever was cold it heats up and it melts it back to its regular form.


Why must heat be supplied to melt ice after all the temperature does not change?

The temperature must heighten for ice to melt. The melting point of ice/water is about 0 degrees Celsius. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Suppose we are at 1 atmosphere and we want to melt an ice cube (of pure water) that is at -5oC. We give heat to the ice cube (hypothetically at very slow rate so we warm the ice cube in a homogeneous fashion). The temperature of the ice cube will rise to 00C before it starts to melt. During the melting process the heat given to the ice is invested in braking the intermolecular bonds. This is called the latent heat of fusion or fusion enthalpy. Not until the ice completely melts, the temperature will start going up again.

Why does an ice cube melt in a warm glass of water?

It Melt Bcuz The water is Warm So it Melts The Ice && Then The Coldness Make the Warm Water Cold

The hot atmosphere


How does the process of brooding keep a bird's eggs warm?

The bird sits on the eggs and by using heat to keep them warm until they hatch


What is the energy transfer when someone places a ice cube in warm water?

When an ice cube is placed in warm water, energy is transferred from the water to the ice cube. The warm water transfers heat to the ice cube, causing it to melt and increase in temperature. This process continues until the ice cube reaches the same temperature as the water.


When someone sits in front of a fire to get warm what process is being used?

Heat transfer by radiation.


Describe an experiment to distinguish between good and bad conductors of heat?

To distinguish between good and bad conductors of heat, one can set up a simple experiment using metal rods of different materials (e.g. copper and plastic) and attach them to ice cubes. Place the rods in a warm environment and observe which material melts the ice cube faster. The material that melts the ice cube faster is a good conductor of heat, while the one that melts it slower is a poor conductor.


Why will heat not flow from an ice cube to a hot drink?

Heat is the flow of thermal energy from one object to another. Heat always moves from warm objects to cool objects, not cool objects to warm objects.

Do shapes of ice cubes affect its melting?

Possibly. The amount of surface area the ice cube has could influence how fast it gets warm, and then how fast it melts.


Does the eviorment effect how an ice cube melt?

Yes, the warmer the air temperature of the environment the quicker the ice cube melts. Also, ice in a warm fluid environment will melt quicker than ice at the equivalent air temperature.
