Does ice cool your drink or does the drink warm the ice?

Question

so about half the class here got it right. I'll give ten points to the one that got it right first.

Answer 1

both

Answer 2

Ice Cool Drink

Answer 3

Being in the HVAC industry I know for a fact that a warmer temperature substance will always give up heat to a substance with a cooler temperature. That is the basic principle behind the way air conditioning works. When you walk on a cold floor with bare feet the heat from your feet transfers to the cold floor and in doing so you end up with cold feet. So the answer to your question is the drink will warm the ice as long as the drink is warmer than the ice in the first place.

Answer 4

Ice is just really cold water that's been turned solid by lowering it's temperature. When you put ice anywhere that's warmer than freezing it will melt and turn back into water. When you put ice into a glass of soda or something they will both warm to room temperature. The Ice and the liquid it's in with both eventually warm to room temperature but you put the ice in the liquid to make it take as long as you can, hopefully finishing the drink before the ice melts. I just had a great idea, plastic "ice cubes" so it does the same thing but doesn't put water into your drink. Shaaa wing Like ice packs hahaha

Answer 5

Ah yes, the Chilled Drink Theory of Relativity.
It seems to me that if the drink had the ambient temperature to begin with, the drink is warming the ice cubes. The drink will continue to warm the ice cubes until they're gone, and the chilled drink will dissipate heat to the surrounding glass and air until the drink returns to the ambient temperature.
The trick is to slurp it down before that happens and order a refill.

Answer 6

From the second law of thermodynamics, it states that heat always flow from a hot body to a colder body...therefore the warm drink cools the ice. Thank u very much..

Answer 7

Zeroth Law (suppose to be the law before the first law) of thermoodynamics states that heat transfer from hot to cold object. With the provision that the process is spontaneous (left alone). You may reverse the process if you mess your nosy paw into the scheme of things (refrigeration, airconditioning.)

So the drink warms the ice.

Answer 8

The heat is transferred always from something warm to something cold.

The heat transfer mechanisms is conduction, convection and radiation. In the case of your drink the heat is transferred from the liquid to the ice through conduction making the ice warmer.

The liquid in that way looses heat (thermal energy) and heats ice.

Heat is the kinetic energy of the molecules. The molecules of ice do not move because they are very cold (low thermal energy). The heat is transferred to the ice and its molecules start moving (greater kinetic energy- higher heat) so it melts.

Answer 9

According to thermodynamics the heat transfers from hot to cold. Higher energy to lower energy. So the heat transfers from the drink to the ice until an equilibrium has been reached.

Answer 10

Ice cools my drink as the drink melts the ice

Answer 11

Think about the definitions (scientific viewpoint) of heat and "cold". Cold is defined as the absence of heat. Heat being molecular energy in matter. Now heat energy wants to disperse into a less contained or orderly state (because of entropy). heat will flow from higher energy into an area of lower energy. So, technically, the heat of your drink goes into the ice cube warming them up, and the result is less heat energy in your drink making it "cooler".
