Question

When heat is constantly supplied by a gas burner with small flame to melt ice, then the temperature of ice during melting :

Options

• increases very slowly

• does not increase at all

• first remains constant and then increases

• increases to form liquid water

Answer 1

does not increase at all

During melting, temperature of the ice does not change at all because the heat is used in overcoming the particle-particle attraction forces, which in turn keeps the temperature constant.
