What happen to the temperature when ice is heated?
During a phase change (from solid to liquid, as in melting and also from liquid to gas as in boiling) the temperature remains constant, as all of the energy is going to affecting the change, rather than raising the temperature. Once it has changed from solid to liquid, the liquid can then raise in temperature.
What is the term for the Boiling of a liquid caused by decrease in pressure rather than by an increase in temperature?
Cavitation
WILL liquid co2 boil at room temperature?
CO2 will not be a liquid at room temperature, rather a gas. It is only a liquid when compressed. Actually IF contained at high pressure it will be a liquid at room temperature ...It requires a combination of both pressure and temperature. It is a liquid in CO2 fire extinguishers and when the pressure is released some of it boils, absorbing a large amount of heat energy, more of it is released from the nozzle as a solid which then sublimes to forma gas.
Is magnesium a liquid?
Magnesium is a solid metal at room temperature; it does have a liquid phase (pretty much everything does, at the right combination of temperature and pressure) but in order to obtain liquid magnesium you would have to heat it in the absence of oxygen (or water) since it will otherwise burn up rather than melt, when it is heated.
Is melting of chocolate can be a solid liquid and gas at the same time?
If a substance exists in all three states simultaneously, it is at the proper temperature and pressure known as the "Triple Point". But this is a physical propery of pure compounds only.So the answer can be 'yes it can', but that's mainly because chocolate is not a pure compound but a rather complex mixture of eg. fat, cocoa powder (from plant material) and sugar with sometimes milk powder.
The temperature at which a substance becomes a liquid?
It is different for different substances. the generic name for the temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid is the melting point. For a pure chemical compound or an element this is usually a sharp temperature rather than a range.

What is the mathematical formula for calculating temperature?
Temperature is usually measured, rather than calculated.
Why does water usually exists as a liquid rather than a gas on Earth?
On Earth water exists as a solid (Ice at the poles and in glaciers), liquid (the oceans, rivers, lakes, clouds, rain and in aquifers) and as a vapour dissolved in the atmosphere (and responsible for forming all the rain snow, mist and clouds).This is because:-Earth has an atmosphere which exerts a pressure of 1 bar at sea level.Earth orbits within the "Goldilocks Zone" of our star the Sun, where the heat coming from the star allows water to be in liquid state.Earth has a biosphere, the cycle of which regulate the amount of greenhouse gases (CO2) in the atmosphere such that the temperature is maintained where water can exist as a liquid over geologic ages.

Cavitation
Why does not the temperature change during change of state from solid to liquid?
Addition of heat produces more liquid, breaking apart the intermolecular bonds, rather than increasing bond oscillation (increasing temperature).

What is the driving force that causes matter to change phase?
A change in temperature. As temperature increases a solid will melt into a liquid. A liquid will evaporate into a gas. As the temperater decreases a gas condenses into a liquid. A liquid freezes to solid. Sometimes the liquid phase is skipped altogether. The temperature at which phase transitions occur vary for different chemicals due to different chemical structures and bonding. Also some compounds will decompose, rather than melt.
Why it is that when a pure liquid is boiling its temperature remain constant?
The energy/heat being added to the liquid is used to convert the liquid into a gaseous state, rather than to heat the liquid (you get something similar when you melt ice). Once a gas, the temperature of the substance will start rising further if heat continues to be applied.
