Does The Shape Of An Ice Cube Affect How Long It Takes The Ice Cube To Melt?

Wow that person above is such an arrogant child.yeah, for example, a really long and thin sheet of ice will dissolve in seconds, while a dense, fat piece of ice will take longer, because the heat cannot reach into the centre and has to work through the outside first.

No, the shape of ice doesn't affect the melting point of the ice cube, only the freezing point of water. Above the freezing point of water ice will melt.

Of course the shape affects the melting speed. Around here, there are still piles of snow in parking lots where they were dumped. This is long after the equivalent amount of snow has completely melted from streets and lawns where it was spread more thinly.

It's all about the rate at which heat is transferred. The larger the surface area, the faster it will melt--other things being equal.

Yes, The shape of the ice cube does effect how fast it melts DUH

The surface area generates heat. The bigger the surface area, the more heat, and the more heat being transferred, the faster it will melt.

I think that it will take loner for the thicker ice cube to melt
than the thiner one
because the thiner one is thin
and the thicker one is thick
so that's what i think
