The particles in the ice start to move quicker and they move further apart, causing the ice to become less dense ande turn into a liquid.

The change in which ice absorbs energy and melts is a?
Endothermic reactions are those in which energy is absorbed during the reaction. Exothermic reactions are those in which heat is evolved during the reactions.When ice melts its absorbs energy in the form of heat so why it melts,
Is it true that when ice-cubes melt it absorbs energy?
The molecules in an ice cube arrange themselves so the mutual forces of attraction between the molecules is stronger then they are in liquid form. These forces can be overcome by adding energy to the ice cube, which starts the molecules jiggling until they break free. When they break free you have water. So energy isn't released by a melting ice cube, it is absorbed. The amount of energy that must be absorbed to just melt the ice (overcome those strong attractive forces), without raising the temperature is called the "latent heat of fusion". Every solid that can be melted to a liquid form has a "latent heat of fusion". This is a number you can look up and is different for different substances. In the reverse situation, when water turns to ice, the water releases energy (latent heat of fusion again)and the molecules slow down enough to be captured by the stronger forces. In the South, when a freeze is coming, the farmers will spray their crops with water because before it can turn to ice it first releases the latent heat of fusion energy. This will keep the crops slightly above freezing for a little longer then without the water spray and they hope its long enough.
What happens to light when it hits dark coloured clothes?
Most of it is converted into heat energy, that is ... it ceases to exist.
What happens when light hits an object it cannot pass through?
If the light can not pass through a object it is opaque . The light will reflect or be absorbed by the object.
What happens to the thermal energy if you drop an ice cube in a warm drink and it melts?
As water and ice have different temperatures, if we add them together then there will be an exchange of heat, due to which ice starts melting and water becomes cold. The heat required to melt the molecules of ice is provided by the molecules of water and this heat is the latent heat of fusion.
What happens to latent heat when ice thaws?
its absorbed
What happens to the heat when water solidifies into ice it absorbed or evolved?
I think it is evolved because if the heat is absorbed then the latent heat will be given to the matter( ice) then the ice will start melting
What happens to heat during an endothermic reaction?
Heat is absorbed.
What happens to absorbed light?
it turns into heat
Why does the ice cream feel cooler to the teeth than the ice cold water?
Ice cream feels cooler to our teeth than ice cold water because during the change of state some amount of heat is absorbed which is known as Latent Heat. So in ice no hidden heat is absorbed while in cool water latent heat of fusion or melting is absorbed.
Why does ice cream appear cooler to teeth than ice cold water?
Ice cream feels cooler to our teeth than ice cold water because during the change of state some amount of heat is absorbed which is known as Latent Heat. So in ice no hidden heat is absorbed while in cool water latent heat of fusion or melting is absorbed.
What is known as the energy absorbed by one gram of ice as it melts?
heat of fusion
What happens to water when heat energy is absorbed?
It's temperature rises according to the heat source.
The energy absorbed by one gram of ice as it melts as known as the .for water?
Heat of Fusion
What happens to ice when you heat?
It melts and turns into liquid
What happens to that energy from the sun that is absorbed by earth surface?
Energy from the sun that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by land and water and transformed into heat.
What happens to the energy from the sun that is absorbed. by earths surface?
Energy from the sun that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by land and water and transformed into heat.
