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
Solution
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.
