It MAY. If the ice is in the sunlight, a dark color will absorb heat, and cause faster melting. We spread wood ash on snow and ice in the winter to speed melting- darker colors.

yes! if the cube is clear or partially clear it will thaw quicker, but if it is whitish it will take longer to melt.

What temperature of water is best for ice cube melt faster?

If Ice cubes are melting in water, the temperature of both the ice cubes and the water will be exactly the freezing temperature of water: 32F, 0C. You cannot change this. You can add heat to make the ice cubes melt faster, but the extra heat will have no effect on the temperature, It will all go to melting the ice cubes.


Which ice cubes melts faster with sugar or ice cubes?

Sugar has very little effect on melting point - it is too high molecular weight. That might answer your question, which does not make sense as written. Thus, it melts faster with sugar, because other ice cubes slow melting.

What are facts about ice cubes?

Ice cubes will melt faster in darker colour water than lighter colour water


The melting of ice cubes is an exothermic reaction?

No. The phase change requires adding heat, so melting ice cubes is an endothermic reaction.


Why do ice cubes explode in drink?

Ice cubes explode in a drink because they are melting at a fast rate. The ice cannot contract fast enough to keep up with the melting, which causes it to crack.


Do ice cubes melt faster when there is another ingredient on them?

Yes. Salt, for example, will speed up the melting of ice cubes.

What is melting ice cubes?

An ice cube melts from the outside layer in. As the outer layer of molecules gains energy it starts to vibrate and moves from solid to liquid phase, sloughing off and allowing the next layer to undergo the same process.
