Question

When ice is converted into water, then ____________.
1. Heat is abosorbed
2. Heat is released
3. Temperature increase
4. Temperature decreases

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Heat is abosorbed

The correct answer is Heat is absorbed.

• When ice is converted into water then it absorbs all the heat energy without an increase in its temperature.

• When ice(solid-state) is converted into water (liquid state), heat is absorbed by ice (solid-state) meaning solid transforms into liquid.
• In this transformation, heat is absorbed and the crystalline nature of ice is broken, and as we have well-separated water molecules.
• For instance, when we take out the ice from the freezer and keep it in an atmospheric temperature or warm room, the ice would absorb heat from the warm air and will start melting.
