So lets just say that solid water (ice) is below its freezing point or melting point, which are the same exact things. For the sake of SI units I'm going to use Celsius. So for example, you take an ice cube from your freezer with an initial temperature of -5 degrees Celsius, below the melting point of water, so it is obviously solid. The ice warms up by taking energy from the warmer air around it. When the ice reaches it's melting point, 0 degrees Celsius, it stays at that temperature until all of it has entirely turned to liquid water at 0 degrees Celsius. This is because all the energy is being used into disorganizing the water structure from a solid state to a liquid state. Then the water at 0 degrees Celsius can continue warming up to room temperature where it is in thermal equilibrium with the room.

When a cube of ice melts to form a puddle of water a physical or chemical change?
It is a physical change.
When ice melts it becomes?
H2O is produced when ice melts. That is an Endothermic change.Because warmer heat is entering the ice cube so that then causes the ice cube to melt. This is also a Physical change anything that melts is physical and you can reverse what you did! Science is AWESOME!
Why is energy absorbed when ice melts?
When an ice cube gains energy, it is the same as gaining heat. So if an ice cube is getting warmer, it melts.
How does the speed of the molecules change when ice changes to water?
Their speed - Kinetic Energy - increases as the solid melts.
Does ice melts or dissolve in water?
Ice melts in water because the ice is below freezing and the water is above freezing (warmer than the ice) so slowly the ice melts in the water, but still cools it down a little. when it melts the water frozen in the ice form is added to the amount of water it was put in.
What kind of a change occurs when ice melts?
Physical change
When ice melts a physical change occurs?
Yes, ice melting is a physical change.
What kind of change forms when ice melts?
chemical change
If you set a glass of ice water outside and melts what kind of change has happened?
A physical change. It can be reversed.
The change in which ice absorbs energy and melts is a?
Endothermic reactions are those in which energy is absorbed during the reaction. Exothermic reactions are those in which heat is evolved during the reactions.When ice melts its absorbs energy in the form of heat so why it melts,
When ice melts it under goes a change?
When ice melts, it is changing its state of matter, and is therefore a physical change.
When ice melts it gains energy and is call this type of change?
When ice melts it is called a physical endothermic change.
When ice melts the particles of ice change into other types of particles?
When a solid is heated its particles melts and change into liquid
How does the sun change ice?
It melts it.
Does the composition of the ice change when it melts?
The composition of ice is H2O, and once it melts to water, its composition is ... H2O! So, no, the composition does not change.
What Kind Of occurs when ice becomes liquid water?
a change of stateIce melting is a physical change
If an ice cube melts would the particles change?
No, it becomes a liquid when it melts.
