If a beaker is exactly full of water with an ice piece floating in it and the ice piece has a lead piece in it will the water overflow when the ice melts?

If the ice is already in the glass, when it melts there will be no net change in the abount of water. The ice cube displaces its own volume in water. The ice cube will melt and its H2O molecules will dissolve into those of the glass of water.

∙ 12y agoNo, it will not, if the ice cubes are free-floating in the water to begin with (not crammed in, jammed against the glass and piled up).
No, ice wouldn't over flow when water frezzes it expands therefore ice takes up more space then it can take

∙ 14y agoNot unless you've piled ice so high that it's over the glass to begin with. Water expands when it freezes, and so, when ice melts, what is more likely to happen is that you'll have less water by volume in the cup after the ice melts.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoNo. Ice is less dense than water, so it takes up more space than the equivalent amount of water. The lead will not change volume in your experiment, so that's irrelevant. When the ice melts, it will change to its liquid, higher density phase. Your beaker will contain it with room to spare.

A glass full of water contain ice cubes floating in it .What will happen to the water level when ice melts?
When the ice melts the water level will rise. The water level will increase because Ice is frozen water and when the ice melts, it turns to water, which means more water will be added to the glass.
A piece of ice is dropped in a beaker containing kerosene when ice melts level of kerosene will?
As kerosene is less dense than water so level of kerosene will fall
What is the exactly temperature when ice melts?
Any temperature above the freezing point. So zero Celsius or 32 Fahrenheit are the freezing point. Anything above them will start the melting process.
Does thesea level rise when water melts?
yes it does....when ice melts.....
What is the process when sugar is heated?
It melts. When sugar melts, its called caramelization.
Is it impossible for the water to overflow if the ice berge melts?
it is possible.. :)
What happens to the volume of a beaker when ice melts in it?
The volume of a beaker doesn't change, it's a beaker. What your were probably trying to ask is what happens to the volume of the ice when it melts. The volume decreases; water is special. Unlike other substances when it freezes it expands. That is why ice floats, it is less dense then water.
What if icebergs were to melt what would happen to the sea level?
Icebergs melting have no effect at all on sea levels. Ice bergs are floating ice. Floating ice displaces exactly the same volume of water as the ice itself will have when it melts, and therefore total volume does not change as ice melts. A simple experiment in your own kitchen will verify this fact.
Does the glass overflow when its filled to the brim and ice melts?
No, the glass will only overfill when disturbed
When ice cube floating in a tumbler of water melts completely why there is no overflow of water?
Its actually quite simple. The answer would be Anomalous expansion of Water, which means that the volume the Ice cubes are consuming in a glass filled upto the brim is more than water alone. When Ice melts and comes back into water form, it uses lesser volume (space) in the glass. Hence it does not allow the glass to overflow as the person pouring into the glass had poured in keeping into view the level of the ice (which uses more volume).
When ice melts does its volume increase or decrease?
Water is more dense than ice. That's why ice floats in water. As the ice melts, the water level rises, but it never gets as high as the highest peak of the floating ice was.
Will water overflow when the ice in the cup completely filled with water melts completely?
If you are asking if a cup filled with water and ice, when the ice melts, will the water overflow, then the answer is no. As the ice becomes water, then it loses its ability to displace the water that it was first displacing as it was ice. So in the end, the water level won't raise or fall as the ice melts, it just replaces the space it once filled with water, leaving you with a full cup of water.
Why does the water level of the great lakes remain the same even if a chunk of floating ice melts in it?
Floating ice is already in the water, so its melting causes no rise in lake levels.
Would a glass that was filled to the brim with ice and water would it overflow?
No. The volume taken up by the ice gets smaller as it melts. This makes the total volume of ice and water in the glass smaller as time passes. So the glass will not overflow
Will water pour out of the glass when the ice melts into a full glass of water?
If he glass was full and you put ice cubes in it would overflow strait away.
Why doesn't the mass of a beaker full of ice change as it melts?
Because it is a physical change only. Nothing, except heat, is added or removed in the process.
Which metal melts at 29 degrees celsius?
The metal Cesium melts at 28.44 degrees Celsius, while gallium has a melting point of 29.77 degrees Celsius. No element melts at exactly 29 degrees Celsius.
