A crushed ice cube has more surface area that a whole ice cube...therefor heat is applyed to more of the "ice cube" during a time peroid.

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoGiven the same amount of ice, crushed ice presents more surface area to the water than do cubes, so that the heat transfer can happen faster.

∙ 14y agoIce cream melts faster because it's already slightly melted and has a different consistency.

∙ 7y agocrushed ice have more surface area then ice cubes so crushed ice cool the liquid more quickly
Wiki User
∙ 13y agothe particles are smaller when the ice is crushed and a whole ice cube they particles are tightly compacted than crushed ice.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoBecause crushed ice has a bigger surface are, so mofre of the ice is in contact with the warmer environvenment.

When a solid block of materials is cut in half what happens to the density?
The density does not change, as density is the amount of material in a given amount of space. But each piece has the same amount of space and material relative to each other.
A cinder block floats in mercury and sinks in water?
this is because mercury is much denser than water . this means that there is more of it in a given amount of space then there is water in the same amount of space

Are ice cubes cooler than a block of ice?
Crushed ice will cool down food faster due to the larger amount of surface area that comes in contact with the food. It also can help keep the food completely covered during transit since it is less likely to move around. However, crushed ice will melt faster due to it's larger surface area. This makes block ice better for food that is going to be in a cooler for long periods of time or is going to be sitting open on a hot day.

Why does charcoal powder burns faster than a charcoal block?
Magnesium powder has a larger surface area than a chunk of magnesium. Therefore it will burn faster. Increasing the surface area of a substance leads to an increase in reaction time. This can be demonstrated easily using alka seltzer tablets. A crushed alka seltzer tablet will dissolve quicker than a full tablet (remember to stir.)
Why would something that has been cut up into pieces digest faster?
The same reason crushed ice melts faster than a huge block of ice. There is more surface area for the bacteria and digestive acids to make contact with and eat away at the product to be digested. Another example is mulched up leaves will decompose faster than whole leaves.
