ok so i did this science project about ice melting. ( if it could melt faster in water oil or vinegar)
but then i need to write how would that be useful in life but i have no idea what it would be useful for!!! plz help!!!!!!!!
p.s. it melted the fastest in the water

maybe, for sports injuries people would want the ice to last longer and they could use oil, or vinegar to add to the ice when in a bag. When they place it on a bruised knee or finger, the ice will last.

How about this: If we filled up the oceans with oil or vinegar, maybe the polar ice caps wouldn't melt so fast.
:D

I've thought about it...but I can think of no manufacturing process this would be useful to. The opposite yes...coating machinery in cold climates with oil to prevent ice buildup...but not the way you did the experiment.
Possibly in cooking, where some fancy dish needs to be cooked at a long, low temperature and you put ice in to regulate the oil from getting too hot? (jeez, I've got to stop watching those cooking shows on cable!!)

you could suggest that ice surrounded by oil would extend the time it takes for the ice to melt, thereby requiring less ice initially, and less ice need to be replaced in situations where volume and time are valuable. such as for medical purposes, to keep organs being delivered for transport cold. or even economical purposed, such as keeping beverages chilled at any sports event, less ice, because of the oil leaves more room for products to be sold, which would increase possible sales

Think about it the other way - in which did it melt slowest? Is this useful for keeping things cold longer?
