Hey peeps!
You're looking at my Science online journal right now...
It basically talks about anything related to science
That our teachers have shared or asked us to research about in class
So be sure to tag!

Ice cubes stick to your fingers! ♥ 8:08 pm

Have you ever wondered why, when you take the ice right out of the freezer, the ice cubes sometimes stick to your fingers?

Well, Ask a Scientist (which actually allows people to email real scientists through the website to ask questions) says that its because its below the temperature necessary to make water freeze. When your fingers touch the ice, they are warm, and they melt the surface layer of ice that they touch. Then, heat from this newly-melted ice flows into the interior of the ice cube, lowering its temperature enough to re-freeze it. So, what's actually happening is that your fingers melt a little bit of ice, and then the ice re-freezes that layer and even the surface of your fingers. After the ice is out of the freezer for a few seconds, its surface is warmed enough by the air that this doesn't happen.

So, it appears that the ice actually melts, then re-freezes again, all in a matter of seconds, while your taking out the ice. So, when it refreezes, it freezes onto your finger, making it sticky. Of course, the simple solution for this, as stated above, is just to leave it out of the freezer for a few seconds before taking the ice! :D
