Question
A piece of ice is heated at a constant rate. The variation of temperature with heat input is shown in the graph below:
(i) What are represented by AB and CD?
(ii) What conclusion can you draw regarding the 110°c nature of ice from the above graph?

Solution
(i) AB part of the graph represents time in t seconds taken by ice at 0°C to convert into water at 0°C.
CD part of the graph represents time in seconds taken by water at 100°C to convert into steam at 100°C.
(ii) From the graph, we conclude that ice takes less time in heating from -10°C to 0°C. But in the process of melting, it takes comparatively longer time. It shows that ice has a high specific latent heat of fusion.
