Yes, freezing of water in an ice cube tray is a physical change. It involves a change in state from liquid to solid without altering the chemical composition of water molecules.
Size is irrelevant. An ice cube can be any size, so long as it is frozen from a liquid state in its container (remember, liquids fill their containers). However, a standard-size ice cube from a tray is 1.2 cubic inches (roughly--the cubes usually slope slightly, changing their volume). Also, their size depends on how much water you place in the tray before freezing.
The plus and minus signs on ice cube trays are for you to indicate the direction you need to twist or pull to release the ice cubes from the tray more easily. The signs help you know which way to apply pressure to prevent the tray from breaking when separating the cubes.
The metal tray has both a higher specific heat (ability to gain or hold heat) and a higher conductivity (ability to transfer heat). So while the ice cream will increase in temperature where you touch it (and hence only absorb a small amount of body heat), the tray can absorb more heat, and transfer it to all of the metal and ice in the tray. (This is also why you can lick a wooden pole in the winter, but not a metal one!)
Two things: Water expands as it freezes which applies force to the inside of the ice cube tray, holding it in place. Most ice trays are plastic and semi-porus. Some of the water molecules find their way into these small pores and when they freeze, joining to the rest of the cube, it acts kind of like molecular velcro.
The answer is D. The metal ice-cube tray has a higher conductivity.
Melt the block, fill an ice cube tray with the water then freeze the ice cube tray.
well.... if u have a ice cube tray u can pour some juice into the ice cube tray and freeze it. It will work best with oj.
Depends how big the ice tray is.
if the tray is metal. i think it could be tried.
If you really wanted to limit your search to an ice cube in Antarctica, you could look in a research station freezer, in the ice cube tray.
Water, an ice cube tray and a freezer.
There is no such thing as a "standard ice cube tray" -I have seen many different ones. Please use proper measures.
You may have a leak in your tray where the water dripped out before it froze completely.
It is water frozen in a shaped like a cube.
depends on the tray, genius.
yes because if you touch the ice cube tray without washing your hands than you will get germs on the ice cube tray.Here is a tip: Wash your hands for about 20 seconds.Make sure you always wash your hands. So you can be clean and not sick.:)
