This is entirely dependent on the mass of ice, its thickness, and surface area of the ice that interfaces with the warmer water (it will melt much faster, of course, at 80 °C than at 80 F°).

There is also a question of the pressure at which the mixing is done, and, more esoterically, of the specific type of ice, as there are different forms of ice other than what we normally use.

Experimentally

A one-inch cube of ice in a 10 gallon tub full of water at 80 °F melted to invisible size in about 6 minutes. This is because the cube was unable to appreciably cool the larger volume of water. (This time can vary if the cube is stationary, or is moving in the water, which keeps the interface temperature more-or-less constant.)

What kind of water melts the fastest?

I'm going to assume that by 'kind of water' you mean between fresh water and saltwater (average ocean water). Fresh water freezes at 32 degrees F (0 degrees C), and saltwater freezes at 28 degrees F (-2 degrees C). Therefore, based upon these numbers, if 2 equal sized samples of salt and fresh water were kept frozen in a container at 20 degrees F, and the temperature of each was suddenly increased to room temperature, the salt water would begin to melt sooner, and therefore, slightly faster.


How long does it take to freeze 4 cups of water at 17 degrees Celsius?

The time it takes to freeze 4 cups of water at 17 degrees Celsius will depend on factors such as the temperature of the freezer, the container the water is in, and the efficiency of the freezer. In general, it could take several hours to freeze completely.


How long does ice take to melt when salt is added?

When salt is added to ice, it melts faster than without salt because salt lowers the freezing point of water. This means that the ice will melt more quickly when salt is present.


How long does it take for the water to start boiling At what temperature does the water boil?

The time it takes for water to start boiling depends on factors like the heat source, the amount of water, and the container. Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) at sea level, where the atmospheric pressure is around 1 atmosphere.


How many BTU will it take to change 10 pounds of ice at 20 degrees to steam at 220 degrees?

To change 10 pounds of ice at 20 degrees Fahrenheit to steam at 220 degrees Fahrenheit, you need to supply enough energy to first melt the ice, then heat the water to the boiling point, and finally convert it to steam. This process requires approximately 180 BTUs per pound of ice to melt it, 180 BTUs per pound of water to heat it to the boiling point, and then 970 BTUs per pound of water to convert it to steam. So, for 10 pounds of ice, the total BTUs required would be around 18,300 BTUs.

How long does it take to melt ice in 0 degrees?

The time it takes to melt ice at 0 degrees Celsius can vary depending on factors such as the thickness of the ice, the surface area exposed to heat, and the intensity of the heat source. Generally, it will take a few minutes to melt a small amount of ice under normal conditions.

Why does ice melt faster in soda than in water?

Each liquid has a different melting and boiling point. If you place ice (frozen water) into a glass of water, then the water's temperature can only drop to 32 degrees and it will begin to melt. If you drop ice (pure frozen water) into Sea Water(water with salt), then the Sea Water can drop below 32 degrees. So it will take longer for the ice to warm up enough to melt. It has to do with the freezing point of the liquid it is in.


How long does it take block ice to melt in 100?

It typically takes several hours for a block of ice to melt at room temperature, which is around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. If the temperature is warmer, such as 100 degrees Fahrenheit, the ice will likely melt faster, possibly within an hour or two depending on the size of the block.
