The energy that goes into temperature change is being used to change the state of the water, and until the transition is complete, it will not change temperature. The same goes for turning liquid water into a vapor.
It is called the "latent heat", and sometimes "heat of fusion".
No, when a solid melts, it changes into a liquid, not a gas. Melting is the process by which a substance transitions from a solid to a liquid state due to an increase in temperature. The transition from a liquid to a gas is called vaporization.
it melts
A substance changes from a solid to a liquid at the substance's melting point. This is a different temperature for every substance. For example, water (ice) melts at 0oC, whereas gold melts at 1,064oC.
solid to a liquid........................................ :)
solid to liquid
when it melts. like ice is a solid, and when its in heat, it melts. therefore, it turns into a liquid.
Yes, when a solid melts or a liquid freezes, it is an example of a phase change. This transition occurs due to a change in temperature, where energy is either absorbed (melting) or released (freezing) causing the particles to rearrange from a fixed position in a solid to a more fluid state in a liquid or vice versa.
Just melting.
Candle wax is a solid at room temperature. When heated, it melts into a liquid form.
a solid melts (and the liquid remains at the temperature of the solid).
The intermolecular forces of attraction in the solid decreases as it is heated and the solid melts (solid converts to liquid) at its melting point.
The temperature at which a solid melts is called the melting point. At this temperature, the solid transitions into a liquid state.
