Temperature indicate kinetic energy density in molecular vibration. Over phase change, energy go to motion and fight against molecular interaction make it mobile.

Liquid is more mobile in compare to solid

Vapour is more mobile in compare to liquid.

Molecular vibration (temperature) stay the same while the energy input go to mobility (latent heat).

When an ice cube melts does it have the same mass as before?

Yes, the mass of the melted ice cube remains the same as the original ice cube. When ice melts, it undergoes a phase change from a solid to a liquid, but the total amount of matter remains constant.


What is the temperature in Celsius for water in the phase change of melting?

The temperature of water during the phase change of melting remains constant at 0 degrees Celsius until all the ice has melted. This is because the energy is utilized in breaking intermolecular bonds rather than increasing the temperature.


When ice is heated it melts is this a theory or law?

This is a law, known as the law of conservation of energy. Heat energy is transferred to the ice, causing its temperature to increase until it reaches its melting point, at which point it melts into liquid water.


When ice melts why doesn't the temperature rise?

From a macroscopic standpoint When you add heat to the water/ice mixture the water will warm up a little bit. The warmer water melts a little ice, and the latent heat of the ice absorbs the extra heat. From a microscopic standpoint The slightly warmer (faster) water molecules bump into the ice, which knocks a few molecules off. The formerly frozen molecules have lower kinetic energy, so the average kinetic energy of the water drops back to the melting point of the ice.


What temperature does iron melt at?

Iron melts at 1535 °C or 2797 °F for those you us living in the U.S.. this is not a thing that melts easily

When a solid melts and temperature remains the same so where does that heat energy go?

When a solid melts and temperature remains constant, the heat energy is used to overcome the intermolecular forces holding the particles together, breaking the bonds and allowing the solid to change to a liquid state. This heat energy absorbed during the phase change is called latent heat.


What is the melting point temperature?

The temperature at which the solid melts, which remains constant until all of the substance is melted.


How ice is isothermal?

Ice is considered isothermal when its temperature remains constant during a phase change, such as when it melts or freezes. This is because the energy being absorbed or released during the phase change does not affect the temperature of the ice until the entire phase change is complete.


Why does salt temp stay same temp when it melts?

The temperature of salt remains relatively constant when it melts because the energy being added to it is used to break the bonds holding the solid salt together, rather than increasing the temperature of the salt itself. This process requires a specific amount of energy to overcome the forces between the salt molecules and transition from a solid to a liquid state.


What happenes to the temperature of a material when it changes state?

When a material changes state, its temperature remains constant until the entire phase transition is complete. For example, when ice melts into water, the temperature stays at 0 degrees Celsius until all the ice has turned into water. Conversely, when water vapor condenses into liquid water, the temperature remains constant until all the vapor has transformed into liquid.


Does the temperature of a solid change when is starts melting?

No, the temperature of a solid remains constant as it melts. The energy added to the solid is used to break the intermolecular forces holding the solid together, rather than increase its temperature. This process is known as the latent heat of fusion.


Explain what happens to the temperature of an ice cube as it melts?

Temperature of melting iceis a constant property: it does not change during melting (stays 0oC, this is even one of the the defined value of the Celsius temperature scale)(for any other melting solid the same is valid at each melting point temperature)


When temperature does not increase and there is a constant supply of energy where does the energy go?

One possibility is that the temperature is absorbed by a change of phase - for example, when ice melts. This is an increase in potential energy. Of course, it is also possible for energy to drain off (the object cools down while energy is being supplied).


Did the temperature fluctuate while the is melting?

No. The temperature does not change during the melting process. All of the heat energy is used to break the bonds of the solid to form a liquid, i.e. the energy is used in the phase change, and thus is not used to raise the temperature.


What happens when energy is added to a sample of ice at 0 C?

The energy is used to break down hydrogen bonds between the water molecules making up the ice, during which there is no temperature change. Then the energy is used to change the ice into the liquid phase. Once the phase change is complete, the temperature will increase.


What happens to an ice when it is heated?

When ice is heated, it absorbs heat energy and melts into liquid water. The temperature of the ice remains at 0 degrees Celsius until it has completely melted.


When a solid melts its temperature remains same so where does the temperature goes?

Temperature indicate kinetic energy density in molecular vibration. Over phase change, energy go to motion and fight against molecular interaction make it mobile. Liquid is more mobile in compare to solid Vapour is more mobile in compare to liquid. Molecular vibration (temperature) stay the same while the energy input go to mobility (latent heat).
