Chemistry / ?How does the environment effect the melting of ice and how fast will it take?
« on: 20/12/2010 17:21:57 »If ice were suspended in the center of an insulated sealed room two times the volume of the ice, where the ice is surrounded by ambient air,If there is no exchange of heat with the room's walls, the ice cannot melt, because that mass of air (I assume it's at standard pressure = 1 atm) is not enough to do it.
Under Ideal situation but you are not given an R value nor a thickness of insulation.
The ice will not stay ice forever in the boxed room will it?
