it's because it releases the latent heat of fusion.

Latent heat means energy is given out when a substance changes from liquid to solid without a change in temperature.

and the transfer of energy doesnt change the KE of the particles, so the temperature remains unchanged. lanten heat gives rise to the change in PE of the particles during the change of state only

Why molarity of a solution remains constant?

Molality of a solution remains constant as mass of a solution independent of temperature.


How does the kinetic theory explain the fact that the pressure of a gas in a sealed container remains constant indefinitely provided the volume and temperature are kept constant?

because according to kinetic theory number of collisions exert force per unit area(pressure) so when the temperature is constant along with volume then the same number of collisions are taking place per unit time thats why pressure remains constant....
