When you add 100 joules of heat to a glass of water containing an ice cube, the temperature remains constant because the energy is used for the phase change rather than increasing the temperature. The heat goes into melting the ice into water, which requires energy (latent heat of fusion) without raising the temperature of the mixture until all the ice has melted. Only after the ice has completely melted will any additional heat increase the temperature of the resulting water.

When ice cube floating in a tumbler of water melts completely why there is no overflow of water?

Its actually quite simple. The answer would be Anomalous expansion of Water, which means that the volume the Ice cubes are consuming in a glass filled upto the brim is more than water alone. When Ice melts and comes back into water form, it uses lesser volume (space) in the glass. Hence it does not allow the glass to overflow as the person pouring into the glass had poured in keeping into view the level of the ice (which uses more volume).


Why will an ice cube dissolve in a glass of water?

An ice cube will dissolve in water because the water is warmer than the ice.


Why does an ice cube stay still when you spin the glass of water?

Inertia. An object at rest stays at rest unless acted on by an outside force. While you turn the glass, you only turn a small amount of the fluid inside - that part closest to the glass. The ice, being massive and solid, is only weakly acted on by the moving fluid. It takes a lot of fluid to get it to move. So, inertia keeps the ice in position.


What will happen if you drop a cube of sugar in a glass of water?

It will melt.


When an ice cube in a glass of water melts the water level in the glass?

The water level remains the same after the ice cube melts because the volume of the ice cube is already accounted for in the water level when it is frozen. When the ice melts, it simply changes state from solid to liquid without changing the overall volume in the glass.

If you put an ice cube in a glass of water how many bodies of water are there?

3 - solid, liquid and gas (water vapour in the air above the liquid in the glass)


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

The ice cube melts in a glass of water because heat is transferred from the surrounding water to the ice cube, causing the ice to absorb energy and increase in temperature, eventually melting into water. This process is known as heat transfer through conduction.
