1. If we drop an ice cube in a glass of water ,check the level of water & let it melt, what happens to the water level afterwards? Does it rise, remains the same or lowers?
djsourabh said:well I think it should lower.
adjacent said:Why?Use common sense and think.If you put something with a volume in water,would the total volume increase or decrease?
Tanya Sharma said:Are you trying to say volume of ice and molten ice is same ?
adjacent said:Volume of ice and water doesn't matter.Ice melts and it will increase the total water volume.If it is to decrease,Ice would melt to liquid of volumes -x.
Yes.And I said that in that post #6Tanya Sharma said:So according to you,after ice melts total water level should rise .Is that what you are trying to say?
adjacent said:Yes.
What?I don't see any reason why my answer is wrong.Please explain.Tanya Sharma said:In that case you need to study Archimedes principle .Your answer as well as your reasoning is completely wrong .
adjacent said:What?I don't see any reason why my answer is wrong.Please explain.
You are to compare the water level immediately after the ice cube is placed in the glass with the water level after the ice cube melts.adjacent said:What?I don't see any reason why my answer is wrong.Please explain.

ehild said:It would happen if you forced the ice under the water level. But it floats, not the whole volume is immersed.ehild
djsourabh said:Please Elaborate. I don't think this would be easy question...We may have to consider the temperature of water before adding & after melting the ice cube...If its at 4 degree Celsius...ohh man this gets interesting...
While it is true that water displays anomalous expansion between 0°C and approximately 4°C, that's a very small effect compared to the amount of expansion that water undergoes as it transitions from liquid to solid.djsourabh said:Please Elaborate.

That's why the context matters. The context should be provided by OP.The problem does not say what time after the ice melts should you check the water level.
The level of ice and water after it melts is equal to the initial level of ice. This is because when ice melts, it turns into water and takes up the same amount of space as it did when it was in solid form.
The level of water does not increase after ice melts because the water molecules in ice are more closely packed together compared to when they are in liquid form. When the ice melts, the molecules spread out and take up more space, but the overall volume remains the same.
No, the temperature of the water does not affect the level of ice dropped after it melts. The only factor that affects the level of ice and water is the volume of ice before it melts.
No, the level of ice and water will not change after the ice has completely melted. Once the ice has turned into water, it will take up the same amount of space as the ice did before melting.
Yes, the level of ice and water will be the same regardless of the shape or size of the container. This is because the amount of ice and water remains constant, and the container's shape or size does not affect the volume of the substances.
