When an ice cube in a glass of water melts the water level in the glass?

The water level remains the same after the ice cube melts because the volume of the ice cube is already accounted for in the water level when it is frozen. When the ice melts, it simply changes state from solid to liquid without changing the overall volume in the glass.


Will a glass of water filled to the brim with a cube of ice floating in it rise when ice melts?

The water level will decrease slightly when the ice cube melts, but the overall volume will remain constant. The melted ice will just fill the space that the ice cube previously occupied, so the glass will not overflow.


What happens if a ice cube embedded with a cork melts?

If the ice cube melts, the cork will float on the liquid water that was previously frozen as ice. Cork is less dense than water, so it will float rather than sink.


When ice cube floating in a tumbler of water melts completely why there is no overflow of water?

Its actually quite simple. The answer would be Anomalous expansion of Water, which means that the volume the Ice cubes are consuming in a glass filled upto the brim is more than water alone. When Ice melts and comes back into water form, it uses lesser volume (space) in the glass. Hence it does not allow the glass to overflow as the person pouring into the glass had poured in keeping into view the level of the ice (which uses more volume).


What property changes when a ice cube melts?

When an ice cube melts, the physical state changes from a solid to a liquid. This occurs as the temperature of the ice cube rises above its melting point (0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit), causing the solid ice molecules to gain enough energy to break apart and flow as liquid water.
