many things. we just did a test on this in class heat is the main thing 4 example if u leave an ice cube in diffrent rooms they will melt at diffrent times because of the diffrent heat.
The principal factor is temperature.
Depends on the temperature of the air and water.
Crushed ice melts faster because it has a larger surface area exposed to the air.
The surrounding substances, especially air.
There is no such thing as cold, only absence of heat. The ice will use the heat from the drink to change state from solid to liquid.
no...
Depends on the temperature of the air and water.
because in air there is heat and in sand its dark and cool
The rate in which an ice cube melts is dependent on the temperature of the outside air. The hotter it is the faster ice will melt. The color of a cup or dish will not affect the melting process.
It depends if its hot water but it will still melt faster in cold water tha the air.
Yes, the warmer the air temperature of the environment the quicker the ice cube melts. Also, ice in a warm fluid environment will melt quicker than ice at the equivalent air temperature.
As the atoms of the heat/air pass into the atoms of the ice cubes, the ice cube's atoms start to lose its structure. So the atoms move into a liquid structure, or melt.
If there is more surface area exposed to warm air it will melt fasterthan if there is little surface area exposed to warm air. heat transfer
Crushed ice melts faster because it has a larger surface area exposed to the air.
Under standard conditions heat will cause the phase of matter to change. For instance: Ambient air is much warmer (more heat) than an ice cube. If the ice cube is allowed to remain in contact with this air it will absorb some of the heat. As the ice cube heats up it melts into liquid water.
If you think of an ice cube (a solid) in the sun, it melts to water (a liquid) and the water heats up by the sun and goes in the air, which makes the water a gas
Well, firstly, water is already melted, and air is not only already melted but already boiled. In other words, your question makes no sense at all.
Ice melts and forms at zero degrees Celsius or thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit. When an ice cube melts, the puddle forming beneath it may be the same temperature or a degree warmer than the ice cube.
