Does soda melt faster than water?
you need to understand how a couple of key aspects of a substance depend on the amount of heat added - i.e. you said "melts faster" which means which substance undergoes a solid->liquid phase change for a fixed amount of heat input. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_trans... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_heat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capaci...
Why does juice melt faster than water?
Due to the sugar content.
Wwhy do ice cubes melt in water faster than in soda?
Liquids conduct heat faster than gasses do, because they are denser. By definition the soda has gas disolved in it, so is less dense. Of course water has some atmospheric gasses dissolved in it. But nowhere near as much as a glass of soda. Since the soda is less dense that slightly slows down the conduction of heat from the liquid to the ice.
Would a sugar cube melt faster in soda or water?
Sugar melts faster in water than in soda. This is because soda has sodium (salt) in it, and adding sodium makes it melt more slowly than it will in plain water. In order for it to melt, the chemical bonds that join the molecules must be broken, and breaking bonds always requires energy. Adding sodium to a solution means that it takes more energy to break bonds which slows melting.
Does ice melt faster in soda?
yes , soda has acid in it .
Why does ice melt faster in tap water than fizzy drinks?
A2A So here goes.So many variables that aren’t specified. this is my best guess without any hard data behind it.How cold is tap water? How cold is the carbonated drink, fridge cold (5oC) or room temp, I suspect fridge cold, who likes room temp soda? This is likely to be appreciable colder than tap water.So pretty much right away the tap water has more thermal energy to transfer to the ice as the system seeks an equilibrium. As the ice melts the cold ice water is denser than the surrounding tap water so it sinks to the bottom of the glass. Displacing warmer tap water that moves up to warm the ice. Setting up a convection effect. Cold fluid drops away from the ice to be replace by warmer fluid that will melt the ice faster.In the carbonated drink, as Gary Karaff has pointed out the escaping dissolved gas will have an endothermic cooling effect on a fluid that is probably already cooler than the tap water. The rising gas is also probably going to make the ice more buoyant, meaning that it doesn’t float as low in the drink. If you look at ice in a carbonated drink it also accumulates a blanket of bubbles, these are less effective at heat transfer than water. These three effects are likely to contribute to a much poorer thermal transfer of heat energy from the drink to the ice. Resulting in a much poorer convection effect and melting it slower.
Why does ice melt faster in water than in diet soda and regular soda?
I discussed this experiment with some of my colleagues and we think that the CO2 (carbon dioxide) causes a stirring effect which distributes the temperature more evenly in the soda. The ice cubes serve as nucleation sites for the bubbles (a place for bubbles to grow). As the bubbles grow and then release they cause the ice cubes to circulate in the liquid. This circulation causes the warmer layer below the ice to mix with the colder upper layer of soda and ice. Have you ever noticed that when you use a straw to drink a liquid that the liquid at at the bottom of the cup is warm and requires a stir to evenly distibute the cooling? The "still" beverages (water and tea have no bubbles) will have a cold layer on top next to the ice and a warmer layer on the bottom. This would cause the ice to melt slower. Here is an experiment to try. Allow some soda to get flat overnite, then try the experiment again. Keep in mind that temperature is the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, whereas heat is the total energy of all the particles. The air and water may have particles moving the same speeds, but the water has more heat because there are more particles. Picture it this way. The ice melts as fast moving particles slam into the slow moving ice particles. As in any collision, some of the energy is transferred to the ice particle, and with its new energy it can break out of the crystal and flow as a liquid water molecule. To make the ice melt faster, you can use hotter (faster moving) particles to slam into it. This is why the ice melts faster on a hot day than a cold one. Alternatively, you can just use more collisions. The water is much more dense than the air, with many more particles per cubic millimeter. Thus even though the water molecules have the same kinetic energy as the air particles, there are many more of them hitting the ice each second, and the ice melts faster.
Why does ice melt so fast in iced tea?
I just switched from usually having a glass of water w/ice to ice tea over the Same amount of ice & i don't think that the ice melts faster over tea..just think you notice it more because of the tea color (vs water).
