Why when you put ice in a cup and then you put water in it to melt the ice the water level doesnt change?

This is because you are not changing the mass of the water, there are still the same amount of molecules in the cup, although more energized they still occupy [relatively] the same amount of room. I say relatively, because the molecules are slightly more spaces, due to the energy obtained with heat.

What change will occur to the ice cubes if the are places into the boiling water?
They will MELT and eventually turn from Liquid into Steam.

Are phase changes in matter permanent?
No, phase changes in matter are not permanent. They can be reversed by providing or removing energy (such as heat) to the substance. For example, ice can melt into water when heat is applied, and the water can freeze back into ice when it is cooled.
If the melting of water is physical or chemical change?
physical Water cannot melt because it is a liquid. However, a snowflake or an icicle can melt because they are solid states of water. You must understand that water can be in any one of three PHYSICAL states, liquid, solid or vapor ( a gas ). Changing physical states is not a chemical change, but a direct result of heat or cold application.
Should you stop climate change?
ofcourse we have to because climate changes are causing the raise of the Earth's crust temp,which will increase evaporation,leading to the raise of the the sea water level and unfortunately reaching floods.In addition that the north pole is starting to melt.
Why doesnt temperature change when transferring from ice too water?
The thermal energy required to change state is taken from the environment; which in this case is the melt water.
How can you change a soild to a liquid?
How do you change ice to water? You melt it.
How does ice change the earth surface?
it will over flood the earths surface with melt water of the ice berg and detroy land under sea level
What happens to the water-level as the ice cubes melt?
It stays the same.
How do you melt a penny in coke?
it doesnt melt, but it gets very clean!
Do ice float in water?
yes, ice does float in water. it will eventually melt and change into water.
How a solid change into a liquid?
Many solids will change into liquids if you heat them, for instance most metals will melt when subjected to heat, ice will become water when heated, some plastics will melt, glass will melt, and most rocks will also melt.
Can you actually say water can melt do you not have to be a solid to MELT?
Water can melt if it transitions from a solid state, such as ice, to a liquid state due to an increase in temperature. The term "melt" refers to the change in physical state from solid to liquid, regardless of the initial form.
What could cause global ocean level to change?
What could cause this is that with global warming the earth's total temperature is going up which causes the Ice bergs and caps to melt slowly. Over time the water adds up and increases the water level of the ocean.
Does salt melt on cold mornings?
Salt doesnt melt, it is absorbed, and as for melting on cold mornings.... name something that does melt on a cold morning.----Salt will cause water ice to soften and melt unless the temperature is very cold (much colder than you're ever likely to see this side of the arctic circle). the salt itself doesn't melt; it converts the ice around it to water and dissolves in that water, allowing it to spread out and melt more ice.
How did the growth of glaciers affect water level in the oceans?
when glacier runs into the ocean it causes the water level to rise. just like when we add ice cubes to a glass of water. but when the icebergs melts water level remains the same. like when the ice cubes melt in a glass of water. it does not increase the amount of water in the glass. global warming is causing glaciers to run into the ocean causing water level to rise.
Why doesnt the northern ice cap on Mars melt?
The temperature on Mars is too cold for water to exist in liquid form on its surface.
