How long does it take an ice cube to melt?

Answer 1

What my people tell me is that, on a plastic lid it last about 1 hr. and 42 minutes.
That depends on the volume of the ice cube, the surface area (determined by the shape), how much heat you have available and in what form.

Answer 2

Not a question that can be answered without more information:

We need to know the volume of the cube, the volume of the water, the temperature of each, whether it's still water or moving water, how fast it's moving relative to the cube, etc. etc.

Answer 3

Well, it depends how you do melt it. It you stick it on a pan over an oven, itll melt in about 10-15 seconds. If its just on a regular table, maybe 3-5 minutes. The size is also important in the question.

Answer 4

it depends on the amount of heat you are giving to it. for example if you put it in a beaker over a gas stove it will hardly take any time to melt

but if you put it in a beaker and let it melt bi its own it will take comparatively more time.

Answer 5

it takes about 1 second on a table but Jason is just wrong

Answer 6

It is to see how big your ice cube is. Sometimes 5 min is enough, but this depends esentially on the temperature of the environment.

Answer 7

an 10ml water ice cube wothout heating takes 13 minutes to melt and when heated with stove in high temperature it takes 2:39 minutes to melt

Answer 8

it takes about 6-10 minutes to melt
