In a perfectly-insulated container, with a perfectly-insultated cover, all the energy of the hot water is distributed between the hot water and the ice cube.
As the ice cube melts, this statement is still true, but the ice's latent heat of fusion may draw the hot water down to near freezing point, even if its mass is small compared to the mass of hot water.
A sea water ice cube would melt faster than a normal ice cube because sea water has a lower freezing point due to the presence of salt. This means that it would require less heat energy to melt the sea water ice cube compared to a normal ice cube.
Warmer water will melt an ice cube faster than colder water because the increased temperature transfers more heat energy to the ice cube, causing it to melt more quickly. The faster kinetic energy of the water molecules in warmer water speeds up the melting process by breaking the bonds holding the ice cube together.
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."
What is meant by dissolving of sugar cubes?? For a sugar cube to dissolve, the bonds formed by the molecules with each other must break. That is the van der Waal bonds must break, not the valence bond(because otherwise, you cant call it a sugar molecule!). And what is required for the bond to break?? Energy. When we simply put a cube in water, very little parts of it may dissolve. That might be due to breaking of bonds using the energy from its fall(as it falls through the liquid, frictional heat develops; heat is a form of energy) or the heat from water(in case the temperature of water is greater than that of the cube). As I answer you question i think why sugar cube doesnt dissolve in air when air temperature is greater than that of the cube? It is because air isn't a solvent for solids! Back to the answer to our question: When you stir, you rise the water temperature. The kinetic energy is converted to heat energy. When you rise the water temperature, the heat is equally distributed to the water and the cubes it contains. the cube takes the energy and the atoms start vibrating more intensely. this weakens the bond and when this is accompanied by the presence of molecules of a good solvent around it, the bonds break and the cube dissolves.
That would be an ice cube.
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.
Thermal energy is transferred from a hot drink to an ice cube by conduction, where heat moves through direct contact between the hot drink and the ice cube. The heat from the hot drink causes the ice cube to melt as the thermal energy is transferred.
A sea water ice cube would melt faster than a normal ice cube because sea water has a lower freezing point due to the presence of salt. This means that it would require less heat energy to melt the sea water ice cube compared to a normal ice cube.
kinetic energy in the drink increasesA calorie of heat energy is transferred from the ice to the water of the drink. Because ice absorbs heat from the drink, cooling down its temp.Common mistake:People think that ice producess coldness, when all its doing to the drink is absorbing the heat, causing the ice cube to melt ;)You say that a calorie of heat energy is transferred from the ice to the water, but that is not entirely correct as a calorie is defined as the amount of heat that 1g of water releases when it cools by 1 degrees Celsius. What if i add a really small block of ice? Surely a calorie of heat will not be transferred from the ice to the water. Therefore it would be more correct to say that the total kinetic energy of the drink decreases.
your body temperature is higher than that of an ice cube's, so your fast-moving molecules in your hand hit the slow-moving molecules in the ice cube, warming it up. the transfer of ice to water is just to let the atoms and molecules move about free-er in liquid form.
the heat is like fire,soit melts
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.
A simple way to illustrate energy transfer is to put an ice cube in a glass of water. The heat energy from the water will transfer to the ice cube until thermal equilibrium.
That would depend on the temperature of the cube and the water along with the volume of water and the mass of the ice cube and its area.
The waters temperature goss down because heat is vibratinal energy that atoms have so when atoms from the hoter water hit and bump into less exited or cooler air atom some of there energy is transferred to the air atom but the air atom gets moved quickly away. So it is only cooling the water because the energy from the water is being moved. That is why hot air comes out of a fridge and why air conditioners are in the wall.
Yes, there is energy in an ice cube in the form of potential energy stored in the molecular bonds between the ice molecules. When heat is applied, the energy is transferred to the ice, causing it to melt and the molecules to move more freely.
It would depend on the size of the cube!
