When melting ice, you are moving from a solid to a liquid. Any state change from a solid to a liquid is called the heat of fusion. In other words, whenever melting takes place, the amount of energy needed is referred to as the heat of fusion.

How many joules of heat are necessary to melt 500 g of ice at it's freezing point?
Heat required to melt 1 g of ice at 0°C is approximately 80 cal . This is also called latent heat of fusion of ice.
What is added to ice to make it melt and how does this affect the molecules in the ice?
Heat is added to ice to make it melt.
How does an ice lolly melt?
It melts just because of the effect of heat on ice
Why must heat be supplied to melt ice after all the temperature does not change?
The temperature must heighten for ice to melt. The melting point of ice/water is about 0 degrees Celsius. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Suppose we are at 1 atmosphere and we want to melt an ice cube (of pure water) that is at -5oC. We give heat to the ice cube (hypothetically at very slow rate so we warm the ice cube in a homogeneous fashion). The temperature of the ice cube will rise to 00C before it starts to melt. During the melting process the heat given to the ice is invested in braking the intermolecular bonds. This is called the latent heat of fusion or fusion enthalpy. Not until the ice completely melts, the temperature will start going up again.
How much energy does it take to melt ice?
Heat because Ice and water would thaw out and begin to heat up
How many joules of heat are necessary to melt 500 g of ice at it's freezing point?
Heat required to melt 1 g of ice at 0°C is approximately 80 cal . This is also called latent heat of fusion of ice.
What has to happen to melt ice?
the ice melt when there s some heat move into it.
What is added to ice to make it melt and how does this affect the molecules in the ice?
Heat is added to ice to make it melt.
How does snow and ice melt?
Heat.
What the best way melt ice without use of heat?
There is no way to melt ice without heat. If you see ice melting, you know that it is absorbing heat. There is no other way for this to happen.
What is the name of the process that causes ice to melt?
Application of heat makes ice melt, so global warming makes lots of ice melt.
What temperature does ice melt fastest?
Cold water will not melt the ice cube in record time, but hot water will, but salt water will also melt it fast, but if you add both together the ice cube will melt alot fast. Deceasing time alot.
Why does ice melt in volcanoes?
Volcanoes erupt hot ash or molten rock. It is the heat from this that can melt ice.
Do ice melt if it is the heat is to hot?
yes
What could melt ice?
A fire (heat!)
What makes a cup of ice melt?
heat
Does ice cream melt in the sun or in heat?
yes! that's why when you light the candle it melt because of heat that surrounds in it!
