Its particles have more thermal energy, and thus melt and change states of matter into a liquid, water.

If heat continues to be transferred, it will turn into a gas.

The above answer is correct in terms of physics but in terms of chemistry the electrostatic bonds are broken by the heat since the energy is enough to overcome the strength of the bonds. As a result the solid becomes a liquid and then a gas depending on the temperature increase.

When a cube of ice is heated, the ice absorbs thermal energy which causes the ice to melt and change state from solid to liquid water. Once all the ice has melted, further heating will increase the temperature of the liquid water.

I have indeed, pondered this question for many years now much like yourself. I do not know for sure, of course, no one really does. All we can do is make educated guesses.

I believe that when ice heats up, it becomes a mass-murderer and destroys the lesser-known continent of Africa. Much like ebola. I do not suggest attempting this action, as it may result in the beginning of the appocolypse. Try as you might, but I highly suggest you withhold the temptation of tossing a handful of ice into a greased skillet.

What happens to an ice cube when heated?

When an ice cube is heated, it absorbs heat energy and begins to melt, turning into liquid water. Continued heating will cause the water to further increase in temperature until it eventually turns into steam as it boils.

What happens when an ice cube is heated?

It will melt! But you have to add enough energy to equal the latent heat as well as to bring the ice up to the freezing point, if it is in a freezer to start it will be at about -21degC.


What does an ice cube melt faster in?

Ice cubes melt faster in a more heated place or situation.


What happens to the particles in an ice cube when the ice cube is heated up on a Bunsen burner?

They move faster and faster. Eventually they move fast enough that they break free of their place in the lattice and the ice melts.

What happens to an ice when it is heated?

When ice is heated, it absorbs heat energy and melts into liquid water. The temperature of the ice remains at 0 degrees Celsius until it has completely melted.
