Where does the white go when the ice melts?

Answer 1

The ice fairy comes and collects it. But she is so fast you never see her.

Answer 2

The 'white' in the ice goes back into the water when the ice melts. Ice is actually blue, like water; you can see this in massive glaciers where the pressure that created ice from snow is so great that the air is pressed out before it turns to solid ice.
Water has air dissolved in it and when it freezes the air gets trapped in little bubbles which give the ice a white look. When it melts, those air bubbles are released and dissolve back into the water.

Answer 3

I'm not sure, but I think the white in the ice is actually caused by small air bubbles... So it's foam. When the ice melts, the air can get out of the water, and the foam disappears.

Answer 4

The "white" are tiny air bubbles crowded together that refract light, the closer the air huddles together the "whiter" the ice...ice melts, the bubbles float away

Answer 5

The white color in ice is due to the reflection and diffraction of light in infinite rays. when you combine these rays of different wavelengths the colors mix and the final color is white. White light is composed of the mix of all other visible wavelengths

Answer 6

The ice crystals are gone -- so is the white.

Answer 7

There is no "white" to begin with. It is just a reflection of light. Same as the "blue" sky. Just a reflection. When light is eliminated, there is no color.

Answer 8

It goes where the ice would go too. They're companions.

Answer 9

it doesnt go any where the only reason snow is the color it is is because of the way in which it defracts light or bends it because of its state

Answer 10

The same place your lap goes when you stand up.
