Ice melts faster in air.

The process of melting needs energy. This energy will be taken from the environment in the form of heat.

The water around the ice will be cooled by the melting and therefore slow the process.

The same happens in the air, but the cooling will be dispersed more quickly and so the effect is much weaker.

Does ice melt faster in room temp air or room temp water?

Ice will melt faster in room temperature air than in room temperature water due to the difference in thermal conductivity. Air is a poorer conductor of heat than water, which means that heat transfer occurs more slowly in air compared to water. Therefore, ice will melt more quickly in room temperature air.


Why can't ice melt faster in cold water?

No heat so it cant melt like the warm water. they are the same temp/.

In a cooler would ice melt faster if left in the 32deg F water or drained to be exposed to room temp air?

The ice would melt faster if left in the 32°F water because water transfers heat more efficiently than air. The warmer water would melt the ice more quickly compared to the ice being exposed to room temperature air.


Will an ice cube melt faster in salt water or tap water?

Assuming this is performed at a constant temp and pressure, it would melt faster in salt water because the Na+ and Cl- molecules can temper with the orientation of water molecules in ice more than the minerals that exist in tap water can.


Why do goldfish breath faster in room temp water?

Because they get used to the air around them so the water becomes that temperature.


What will happen when heat is added to water that is room temp?

The water will get hotter. Its molecules will move faster, and the temperature goes up.

How can you make water in a glass evaporate faster?

You can make water in a glass evaporate faster by increasing the temperature in the room, adding heat directly to the glass, increasing air circulation around the glass, or lowering the humidity in the room.
