When I put ice cubes that I’ve made in my freezer into a glass of water, white stuff appears in the glass when the ice cube has melted. What is the white stuff and where does it come from?
As the ice cube freezes, all of the dissolved minerals in the water are pushed to the center of the ice cube. When the ice cube is completely frozen, the center of the ice cube is concentrated with minerals. When the ice cube is completely melted, “white stuff” floats in your glass of water. This white stuff is the minerals that are no longer dissolved in the water which normally consist of calcium and magnesium.
