Ummm . . . let's just say that thermal energy is used to melt ice.

What heppens to matter when you add thermal energy?
When you add thermal energy to matter, either the temperature will increase, or there will be a change in the state (phase) of matter, for example when ice melts.
Does freezing gain thermal energy?
Yes. When ice is converted to water, thermal energy is required. When the water is converted back to ice, the same amount of thermal energy is released.
What happens when a object gains thermal energy?
Then it will either get hotter, or change its phase (for example, when ice melts).
Can heat be added to a substance without causing temperature of the substance to rise?
Yes, if the heat goes into a phase change.For example . . .Heat added to ice at 0° C changes the ice to water at the same temperature.Heat added to water at 100° C changes the water to steam at the same temperature.
Can heat be added to a solid liquid and gas without changing in teperature?
That is possible when there is a change of state. For example, if you have ice at its melting point, or a mixture of ice and water at its melting point, if you add heat, the energy will be used to melt the ice, not to increase the temperature.
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.
How much energy does it take to melt ice?
Heat because Ice and water would thaw out and begin to heat up
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
Is melting an ice cube an example of endothermic processes?
Yes, the ice cube must absorb thermal energy from its surroundings to undergo the phase change, so the process is in fact endothermic.
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
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.
What is the amount of thermal energy that must be added to change ice at the melting point completely into water?
About 333 joules / gram.
Why does ice cube melt when it is heated?
in the solid state of water {ice} the molecules are well orderly arranged .as thermal energy decreases the freedom for movement of molecules are affected. Thus when temperature increases the thermal energy of molecules increasesand they began to move in random motion. that is the melting of ice.
Is melting ice endothermic or exothermic change?
Ice cream melting (or pretty much anything melting) is an endothermic process in that it requires the absorption of heat energy in order to occur. An example of an exothermic process is the burning of paper which gives off heat energy.
Does color affect the rate which melting a ice cube?
darker colors absorb heats and thermal energy and allows the ice to melt faster.the clear ice reflects which makes it slower to melt.
