If you put ice cubes in a bowl or whatever of hot water, the ice cube is sure to melt when put so says science.

Why do rivers and lakes not freeze easily?

While water is moving, its temperatue can drop below zero and it doesn't freeze. Obviously, faster moving rivers are less likely to freeze. For lakes, water's unique density behaviour protects them from freezing. Unlike almost all substances, the solid form of water (ice) is less dense than the liquid form. Ice cubes float. (For almost all other substances, the "cubes" would sink.) So when lakes freeze, the ice stays at the top. This insulates the remaining water from the colder air above. If ice cubes sank, then lakes could freeze all the way to the bottom: the ice that formed would fall to the bottom, continually exposing the top water to the cold air.


How does the temperature of water affect the time it tackes to freeze into ice cubes?

A higher water temperature will take longer to freeze into ice cubes compared to water at a lower temperature. This is because the higher the temperature, the more heat energy needs to be removed from the water to reach the freezing point. Conversely, cooler water will freeze more quickly as less heat energy needs to be extracted.


What if ice cubes are put in kerosene?

If ice cubes are put in kerosene, the ice will melt due to the higher temperature of the kerosene. Kerosene has a lower freezing point than water, so it will not freeze the water in the ice cubes. The ice will eventually melt and mix with the kerosene, but they will not chemically react with each other.


What will freeze first water or soda?

water


What will freeze first water and sawdust or water?

Water will freeze first, as sawdust does not have a freezing point. The freezing point of water is 0°C (32°F), while sawdust does not freeze but can become solid if mixed with water.

Can ice cubes freeze water?

Yes, when ice cubes are placed in water, they will lower the temperature of the water, causing it to freeze if the temperature drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius). The ice cubes transfer their cold temperature to the water, leading to the formation of ice.


Will ice cubes freeze larger if hot water is used?

no it will not

What is inside reusable ice cubes?

Reusable ice cubes are typically filled with distilled water or a non-toxic gel (such as polyethylene glycol) that can freeze and keep drinks cold without diluting them as traditional ice cubes would. Some reusable ice cubes are also filled with a non-toxic gel that can retain cold temperatures longer than water.


What would freeze first a pond or ocean?

A pond, being fresh water and smaller, would freeze first. Sea water, being salty and larger, also constantly affected by the tides and wind, will only freeze in very extreme coldness.

Would dollar bills freeze together in a freezer?

The only way they'd freeze together is if they were soaked in water first.


When you make ice cubes at home does it cost money?

Yes, making ice cubes at home does cost money. The cost would come from the electricity used by the freezer to freeze the water into ice cubes. However, the cost is usually minimal compared to other household expenses.


Some ice-cubes from coffee shops have a hole in the middle?

there is air in the water before it froze so when the water freeze, the air could not be frozen
