How Does Water Melt Ice?
Most of us are familiar the melting point of ice: 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit. If the temperature of ice is below this number, it will stay solid; if the temperature of the ice is increased above this number, the ice changes to liquid water. If ice comes into contact with water, we know the ice must be below 0 degrees Celsius and the water must be higher than 0 degrees Celsius. Because of the difference in temperatures, heat transfer will occur. The result will be that the water will decrease in temperature and the ice will increase in temperature.
