Which ice melts the fastest in water soda or glue?

Ice will melt fastest in water, as water has the lowest freezing point among the three substances. Soda contains dissolved sugars and acids that can lower its freezing point slightly, but it will still be slower to melt ice compared to water. Glue typically contains substances that can freeze at higher temperatures, so ice will melt slowest in glue.


What color cup will ice melt fastest in?

What melts ice other than salt?

Other substances that can melt ice include sugar, sand, calcium chloride, and urea. These substances lower the freezing point of water, causing it to melt at temperatures below the usual freezing point of 0 degrees Celsius.
