Physics for IGCSE & O level - Thermal Effects (Section 6 - No. 7)
When ice melts at 0°C, the energy added to the ice is used to?
Increase the temperature of the water
Break the bonds between the water molecules.
Decrease the temperature of the water.
Increase the kinetic energy of the water molecules.
Explicaţie
During melting, the added energy breaks the bonds of the ice crystals rather than increasing the temperature.
