How much energy does it take to melt ice?

Heat because Ice and water would thaw out and begin to heat up


How can the temperature of substance remain the same even if the substance is absorbing thermal energy.?

For example, when ice is melting, the absorbed thermal energy is used to change the phase of the substance - a type of potential energy.


What energy is involved in ice changing to liguid?

Thermal energy, melting of ice is a physical change of phase.


What type of energy is used when a hot spoon is set on ice cream melting the ice cream?

thermal energy


Does melting los or gain thermal energy?

Melting ice absorbs thermal energy from its surroundings in order to break the bonds between water molecules and transition from a solid to a liquid state. This added energy increases the temperature of the ice until it reaches its melting point, at which further energy input will cause the ice to fully melt into liquid water.


What is ice warmed to the melting point?

Ice warmed to its melting point will become water. At this temperature, the thermal energy causes the solid ice to transition into liquid water.


What type of energy is used when a hot spoon becomes in contact with ice cream and then it melts?

the thermal energy in the spoon comes in contact with the kinetic energy used to put the spoon in to the ice cream thus, melting the ice cream


In example of holding ice where does thermal energy go?

When you hold ice, the thermal energy from your hand is transferred to the ice through conduction. This causes the ice to melt and increase in temperature. The thermal energy does not disappear but is transferred from your hand to the ice, leading to a phase change from solid to liquid.


Energy stored in an ice cream an example of witch type of energy?

The energy stored in an ice cream is an example of thermal energy, as it is the internal energy resulting from the motion of particles within the ice cream.


How does thermal energy transfer melt an ice cube at room temperature?

Thermal energy from the surrounding room causes the ice cube to absorb heat, causing its temperature to increase. Once the ice cube reaches its melting point, the thermal energy break the bonds between the water molecules in the ice, turning it into liquid water.


How does thermal energy of solid water change as its melting?

The thermal energy of the water increases as it melts, changing from a solid (ice) to liquid water. For a solid to melt, it is necessary for it to absorb energy from its surroundings.


What is added until ice becomes a liquid?

The addition of thermal energy, or heat, if you prefer, will turn solid water (ice) into a liquid by melting it.
