For instance, will ice whose temperature has been lowered to 0 degrees Farenheit or less remain as ice longer and/or melt slower than ice formed at 30 degrees Farenheit?
Another longest lasting ice question...

the colder the ice is, the slower it will melt, simply because the molecules are moving less rapidly. However, there are some instances in which hot liquid water does freeze faster than cold water. I don't believe the same it true for solid ice, due to the standard formation of water.

If Ice could be melting to water, then confident it fairly is right. 0 stages C is whilst water turns into Ice. So no count number if it fairly is already Ice and that's at 0 or above, it is going to initiate melting. So 0 C is the two the freezing factor of water and the melting factor of Ice. wish this helps.

You have to use Newton's law of cooling to figure that out, because it would depend on the specific situation. If you are talking about the RATE of melting- no, it will melt at a faster rate because it will have a greater difference from room temperatre. But, it will probably remain as ice for a longer amount of time because it has further to go. You'd have to plug it into Newton's law of cooling to be sure.

Sure it will, because some heat has to be absorbed by the ice to raise its temperature to the melting point before it then melts.

yes it will.
Why? because the colder the ice the more BTUs it takes to be absorbed by the ice in order for the temperature to reach the melting point.

i thought ice below freezing point isnt supposed to melt?
