yes
it all depends on the temperature. ice melts faster at higher temperatures
boiling water
because it does!
The time it takes for a cubic foot of ice to melt depends on the temperature of its surroundings. On average, it may take a few hours to melt at room temperature (around 70°F). Warmer temperatures will melt it faster, while colder temperatures will slow down the melting process.
There are approximately 1,682 pounds in 1 cubic yard of ice, as ice has a density of about 57.2 pounds per cubic foot.
salt
Heat such as fire and boiling water
Yes, acid can melt ice faster than plain water because it reacts with the ice to form a solution that has a lower freezing point. However, using acid to melt ice is not recommended as it can be harmful to the environment and surfaces.
Cold water will not melt the ice cube in record time, but hot water will, but salt water will also melt it fast, but if you add both together the ice cube will melt alot fast. Deceasing time alot.
No, only the mass of the ice and the temperature of its enviorment matters how fast it will melt. Also, both the amount of direct and indirect heat does make a difference to how fast it will melt.
It depends how small it is crushed and how tightly it's packed. The smaller it's crushed and more tightly it's packed, the heavier it is as there is more ice and less space between the pieces of ice. In the most finely crushed and firmly packed volumes of the frozen stuff, the cubic foot of crushed ice will approach being a solid block. A cubic foot of water weighs about 62.4 pounds. A solid block of ice of the same volume weighs about 57.5 pounds. A cubic foot of "normal" crushed ice might weigh 35 to 45 pound range. And it could weigh more or less.
