because atoms in hot water vibrate faster, and cold water vibrates slower, hence movement generates heat, heat speeds up the ice cube's atoms, as the ice cube's atoms speed up it begins to expand, spread out it's mass and melt.

Why ice cubes melt faster in the sun?

Ice cubes melt faster in the sun because sunlight is a form of radiant energy that warms the ice cubes, causing them to absorb heat and melt more quickly. The higher temperature from the sun speeds up the rate of melting compared to ice cubes kept in the shade.


What are the differences between stainless steel ice cubes and regular ice cubes in terms of their effectiveness in keeping drinks cold?

Stainless steel ice cubes are more effective than regular ice cubes in keeping drinks cold because they do not melt and dilute the drink. Stainless steel ice cubes also cool drinks faster and maintain their temperature longer than regular ice cubes.


How fast does ice melt in cold water?

it really all depends on the temperature if the water is warmer than the ice it would melt in atleast 1 min if the water is freezing cold and colder than the ice then the ice will melt in an hour b/c the water will warm up to room temperature if it5 was boiling water it would obviosly melt in a few seconds or 2


Why do ice cubes melt faster than a block of ice with the same mass?

Ice cubes have a larger surface area compared to a block of ice with the same mass, allowing for more heat exchange with the surrounding environment. This increased surface area enables the ice cubes to absorb heat more quickly, causing them to melt faster than a block of ice.


Does ice melt faster in water or by blow dryer?

Ice will melt faster in water because water is a better conductor of heat compared to air from a blow dryer. The water provides a more consistent and efficient way to transfer heat to the ice, causing it to melt faster.

Will ice cubes melt faster in hot or cold water and what is the scientific reason for it?

Ice cubes melt faster in hot water. Hot water has more heat energy to overcome the forces of attraction between water molecules in ice. Go look up the kinetic particle theory.


Why do ice cubes melt faster in water than in ice?

Water has a higher temperature in ice causing it to melt faster.

Ice cubes will melt faster in darker colour water than lighter colour water


What will happen to the ice cubes if it was in water?

The ice cube will melt faster if it was previously dunked in water. Ice cubes will melt when they are placed in liquid since water temperature is higher than that of ice.


Why do ice cubes melt faster in air and not water?

Because water is a part of an ice cube


Will ice cubes melt faster in your hand or in water?

in your hand because of your body heat


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.
