Anybody know anything about ice?

[munruss]

PLEASE, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think when water freezes it turns to ice. Again, I could be wrong.

I love ice!

Naw...stores wouldn't make any money off ice if people could make their own.

Nah, that's illegal you're not allowed to posess or manufacture your own ice at home ... must buy from store.

I use purified water from our Brita water pitcher ($20 from CostCo B&M), pour it into the ice cube tray, put it back into the freezer (very important) oh yeah and remember to CLOSE the freezer door, come back in a few hours, open the freezer door and BAM! you have ice cubes.

Your supposed to smash it on the floor when it freezes together (refer to Electric Amish's post for instructions). Are you some kind of ICE newb?

And if you freeze a gold fish in a ice cube when it thaws out the fish will swim around, becoming the LIFE OF THE PARTY!!

Only one way to find out

yes, this also works for small insects, rodents, homosapien infants, small birds, and most forms of bic and parker ink pens.

Freezing a goldfish into a block of ice will result in a dead cold fish when you thaw it out!

The reason why fish survive in ponds is because the water only freezes on the surface, the water beneath is still in a liquid state and can be several degrees above the freezing point. Goldfish (as well as other coldwater species) will stop eating below about 10C and their metabolism slows to a crawl below this. They essentially hibernate. The water can hold more oxygen at the lower temperatures. Pond keepers with a lot of fish will often use a small heater to keep a hole in the ice surface for CO2 exchange.

Cheers!

Oh, Wow - Thanks, man!

We lost the formula for ice a few years ago and have been looking for it ever since!!

concerning the stickie cubettes problem:

the flat cubettes stick adhere better relative to their individual mass and center of gravity. They are harder to break apart b/c they have more adhered area relative to their mass AND less leverage (distance from adhered area to center of mass).

maybe you should put the ice into a large plastic bowl instead of leaving it in the bag. That might prevent the ice from fusing (the bag traps in moisture).

It's the only liquid the doesn't shrink when frozen. It expands.


amish

Yeah but do you know why it does this? hey! no cheating by looking it up now!

the crystal lattice lines the ice up so that its further apart than when the liquid hydrogen bonding happens.


the metal they make typeset out of expands from its liquid to solid form.

You're welcome, don't lose it this time!
