When ice melts, its mass doesn't change. It just goes through a phase change and becomes water. Again, when water evaporates, it goes through a phase change and becomes water vapor. The conservation of mass is hence proved.
Yes energy reqired during each phase change process. solid to liquid(water) = 333.7 Kj/kg liquid to vapour(water) =2257.1Kj/kg
In the condensation phase change, a gas cools (loses energy) and changes to a liquid. Example: water vapor turns into liquid rain.
HEAT
A horizontal line on a phase change graph means there has been no change. Often longer periods of research are needed to see significant change.
A graph going down from GAS to SOLID best represents a change in phase from a gas to a solid.
Heirhey
It is because that is when the change is occurring, and the diagonal part is when the process has already happened

the graph would look like a normal heating curve however at 0 degrees celsius and 100 degrees celcius, there would be a flat line.
When ice melts and becomes water, that is a phase change. Same when water boils and becomes steam (a gas) that is also a phase change.
Thermal energy (heat)
This phase change is called evaporation.
The phase change of water (liquid) to ice (solid) is called solidification.
a steep upward sloping line
Yes. Strictly speaking there should be no temperature change during a phase change.
