प्रश्न
Water in lakes and ponds do not freeze at once in cold countries. Give a reason is support of your answer.
उत्तर
The specific latent heat of fusion of ice is sufficiently high (=336 J g-1), and so to freeze water, a large quantity of heat has to be withdrawn. Hence, it freezes slowly and thus keeps the surroundings moderate.
