KE of the ice increases as it melts because the speed of each water molecule is increasing and KE is directly proportional to speed (usually called velocity, which just means speed + direction).

What happens to the melting particles?

When particles reach their melting point, they absorb enough energy to transition from a solid to a liquid state while maintaining their molecular structure. During melting, the particles gain kinetic energy, causing them to vibrate more rapidly and move further apart, which leads to the solid substance turning into a liquid.


When you heat ice on a hot stove the ice melts. What is happening during this process?

During the melting process, the heat is being used to break apart the bonds holding the solid ice together. None of the heat goes into changing the temperature, as it all goes into the phase change. So, during the actual melting process, the temperature does NOT change.


What happens to the water in the beaker during melting?

During melting, the water in the beaker absorbs heat and undergoes a phase change from solid (ice) to liquid. As it melts, the temperature remains constant until all the ice has transformed into water.


What is the process when a substance is transformed from a solid into a liquid?

When a substance transforms from a solid to a liquid, it undergoes a phase change known as melting. This process involves the absorption of heat energy, causing the particles in the solid to gain enough kinetic energy to overcome the attractive forces holding them in a fixed position. As a result, the particles gain enough mobility to transition into a more disordered liquid state.


Why temperature remains constant during the process of melting or boiling?

This is because of latent heat. When a substance is being melted, heat is supplied to the solid until its melting point is reached. When the solid reaches that temperature, any additional heat energy is used - not to raise its temperature - but to cause the phase to change from solid to liquid. The amount of energy required (per unit mass) is the latent heat of melting (or freezing, when the process is reversed) for that substance. When the phase change is complete, any further heat energy supplied will, once again, go towards raising the temperature.The same thing happens at the boiling point except that this time it is the latent heat of evaporation/condensation.

What happens if the annealing temperature is too high during the process?

If the annealing temperature is too high during the process, it can lead to the material becoming too soft or even melting, which can affect the desired properties of the material.


What happens when the temperature stays the same in a melting curve?

During melting the temperature remain constant if it was achieved the melting point.

What happens to snow molecules during phase change?

During a phase change from solid snow to liquid water, the snow molecules absorb heat energy and gain enough kinetic energy to break their bonds and transition into liquid form. This process is called melting.


Why does temperature does not rise during the process of boiling and melting though heat energy is constantly supplied?

you must have observed during the experiment of melting that the temperature of the system does not change after the melting point is reached till all the ice melts this happens even though we continue to heat the breaker that is we continue to supply heat


What happens to neon during melting point?

There are a number of things that could happen to neon while it is at its melting point. It could melt.

Is melting copper a exothermic process?

Yes, melting copper is an exothermic process because it releases heat as it changes from a solid to a liquid state. The energy required to overcome the bonds holding the copper atoms together is released in the form of heat during melting.


What do you do to purify a metal?

You have to get it hot enough where you get to the melting point of the metal. During this melting process the impurities will be removed from the metal and your end result is a purer metal.
