When an ice cube slowly disappears from the ice tray in the freezer, that is sublimation. The solid water (ice) is turning directly to the gas state (water vapor)- it skips over the liquid phase.

What is an ice cube?

Ice cubes are small, roughly cube-shaped pieces of ice, conventionally used to cool beverages. Ice cubes are often preferred over crushed ice because they melt more slowly; they are standard in mixed drinks that call for ice, in which case the drink is said to be "on the rocks."Ice cubes are produced domestically by filling an ice cube tray with water and placing it in a freezer. Many freezers also come equipped with an icemaker, which produces ice cubes automatically and stores them in a bin from which they can be dispensed directly into a glass. Ice cubes out of a tray are generally longer and thinner, requiring less force to remove them from the tray and thereby reducing the likelihood of the cube becoming stuck in the dispenser.There are also dedicated ice-maker machines used to produce ice cubes for laboratories and academic use. Ice cubes are also produced commercially and sold in bulk; these ice cubes, despite their name, are often cylindrical, and may have holes through the center. An interesting characteristic of commercially made ice cubes is that they are completely clear, lacking the clouding found in the center of domestically made ice cubes.


Why is there smoke on the top of an ice tray immediately taken from a freezer?

What you see is not smoke; it is mist. When you pull the ice cube tray out, a bit of air from the freezer comes with it. This air chills the room temperature air to below freezing, causing the moisture in it to form microscopic ice crystals.


What is the function of the measurement tray on a triple beam balance?

The measurement tray on a triple beam balance is used to hold the object being weighed. Placing the object on the tray allows for an accurate measurement of its mass by balancing it with the combination of the three beams on the balance.
