Ice expands as it freezes, so it takes up more volume than an equal mass of water. Hence when the ice melts in the kerosene, the liquid water takes up less volume, so the level of the kerosene drops.

A piece of ice is dropped in a beaker containing kerosene when ice melts level of kerosene will?

As kerosene is less dense than water so level of kerosene will fall


When an ice cube in a glass of water melts the water level in the glass?

The water level remains the same after the ice cube melts because the volume of the ice cube is already accounted for in the water level when it is frozen. When the ice melts, it simply changes state from solid to liquid without changing the overall volume in the glass.


A glass full of water contain ice cubes floating in it .What will happen to the water level when ice melts?

When the ice melts the water level will rise. The water level will increase because Ice is frozen water and when the ice melts, it turns to water, which means more water will be added to the glass.


What will happen if ice in kept in glass of water does the level of water will rise or not?

yes, becuse when ice melts it becoms water.Answer:When ice is added to a glass of water the level will rise. After that, as the ice melts the level will decline. When water freezes it expands, so when it thaws back to a liquid it shrinks.


When all ice in a glass of water melts the level of water in the glass?

Stays the same (assuming that all the ice was floating to begin with).


Will a glass of water filled to the brim with a cube of ice floating in it rise when ice melts?

The water level will decrease slightly when the ice cube melts, but the overall volume will remain constant. The melted ice will just fill the space that the ice cube previously occupied, so the glass will not overflow.


Does the water in a glass of icewater rise as the ice melts?

In physics terms, yes. Ice has a negative heat, which when added to water, the negative heat is then transferred into the water, cooling it off. Then the opposite becomes true as well. The heat of the water acts to melt the ice, then reach thermal equilibrium, which happens only when both the "ice" and the water are the same temperature.


What will happen to the water level when an ice cube in a glass of water melts?

The water level lowers. See the Related Question below for additional info.


Does the temperature of ice increase or decrease when it melts?

The temperature of ice increases when it melts.


Does glass melts in water?

no


Does the glass overflow when its filled to the brim and ice melts?

It depends on how much ice was in the glass and how much water it created as it melted. If the ice displaces enough water to raise the water level near the brim, then it could overflow once the ice melts and adds more water.


When ice cube floating in a tumbler of water melts completely why there is no overflow of water?

Its actually quite simple. The answer would be Anomalous expansion of Water, which means that the volume the Ice cubes are consuming in a glass filled upto the brim is more than water alone. When Ice melts and comes back into water form, it uses lesser volume (space) in the glass. Hence it does not allow the glass to overflow as the person pouring into the glass had poured in keeping into view the level of the ice (which uses more volume).
