What is the action of a solid changing to a liquid state usually through the application of heat?
If you use enough heat, anything that won't either sublime, which is to go directly from solid to gas (dry ice, wood, some inks), or ignite, which is to catch fire, will change from a solid to a liquid.
Why does an ice cube melt faster on top of bottle full of water versus an empty water bottle?
Ice cube requires heat to melt.Water conducts heat well. Therefore the temperature of the environment is absorbed by the water and the some of the distributed heat is taken by the cube and it melts.Air is an insulator. The only way heat from surroundings can go to the ice cube INSIDE the water bottle is by convection of air currents. But the convection is restricted to some extent by the almost closed water bottle, which has high(compared to cube size) plastic walls (plastic: heat insulator) on all sides and a narrow mouth. Therefore the convection and thus passing of heat to cube from surroundings is slow and this makes the ice melt slower in the empty water bottle.
Why does gritting and salting the roads help the snow and ice to melt?
Adding sand does not melt the ice, but it improves traction. Adding salt lowers the freezing/melting point, if the temperature is warmer than the new freezing/melting point of the salt/ice mixture then the ice melts. However there is a minimum temperature that this cannot go below, regardless of the salt used, and if the temperature is below this then salting the road does nothing and only sand will help.
Is frost a liquid or a solid?
Frost is ice so stuff cant go through it so its a solid == ==
Why is a towel good insulator?
I think that paper towels are good insulators because if you put a few layers in a cup, they will absorb the water from the ice in the cup, which will keep the temperature in the cup cold enough to keep the ice from melting. Put a wash cloth under the layers of paper towels, the ice will be even better off. Put a plastic wrap over the top of the cup, I am pretty sure that the ice will NOT melt for a few hours! But if this experiment doesn't work, and you have a better answer, then go ahead and change this. Bye!
What order of water cycle phase changes would an ice cube most likely go through when it is put into a glass outside in the Sun?
melting, evaporation, condensation
Which will make ice melt qicker ice or salt add to ice?
Hot water, salt can melt an ice cube as well but hot water raises the temperature in the ice cube causing it to go through a phase change referred to as melting thus turning it to a liquid more rapidly than salt could.
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.
Where did ice cube go to school?
his house:)
Does hail go through the melting or sublimation stage?
Melting. Hail is made from water, and water must go under extreme conditions to sublimate. Instead, hail simply melts like ice.
Did ice cube go to school?
ice cube attended William taft high school and Hawthorne Christian scholl.
Where does the salt in ice cream go?
Ice is added to decrease the melting point of ice cream.
Why use dry ice to make stage effect instead of water ice?
Dry ice goes through one change to make "fog", but water ice has to go through two changes to become a gas.You could use water ice to make fog, but it would have to go through the liquid phase before it evaporates or boils. But dry ice, instead of melting and evaporating, will go through what is called sublimation, which is the change of matter of solid to gas.
Why does a mixture of water and ice stay the same temperature while the water melts the ice?
The heat going into the ice initially breaks the hydrogen bonds between water molecules, during which the temperature remains constant. Once the hydrogen bonds are broken, the heat will go into melting the ice and the temperature will increase.
What do you do after you beat Wario and Waluigi in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games?
you have to go to a penguin and talk to him then there will be an ice cube push the ice cube into the water an the right.
Where do you find the antlers sculpturz on woozworld?
you need to go to the shopz and write in the search "antlers" and there will appear a ice cube in the name of the is "ice cube - antlers sculpturz and you buy it
When ice as a sollid is heated up it change to a liquid what is this called?
Melting, thawing, I'm not really sure the exact answer you want. I'd go with melting
