When you heat ice it takes in the heat and its temperature rises until it reaches melting point. It then takes in heat without getting hotter. When it's all melted, then the water that it now is gets hotter and hotter. When it reaches boiling point more heat will simply turn it into steam without it getting hotter. If you keep adding heat to the steam then it will get hotter.

The heat that you have to add to something to change its physical state (i.e. from solid to liquid or liquid to gas) but without it actually getting hotter, is known as 'latent heat'.

What is the boiling and melting temperature of water with and without salt added to it?

without salt water melts at 0 c or 32 f. It boils at 100 c or 212 f. Depending on the amount of salt, it melts at a lower temperature and boils at a higher temperature.


Can the phase of matter be changed?

by increasing the temperature until it melts or boils, or by decreasing the temperature until it liquifies or freezes


What happens to an ice cube when heated?

When an ice cube is heated, it absorbs heat energy and begins to melt, turning into liquid water. Continued heating will cause the water to further increase in temperature until it eventually turns into steam as it boils.

What elements melts at 1455 c and boils at 1499 c?

The element that melts at 1455°C and boils at 1499°C is tungsten. Tungsten has a high melting and boiling point, making it useful for applications in high-temperature environments such as light bulb filaments and aerospace components.


What temperature does silver change state at?

Silver melts at a temperature of 961.8 degrees Celsius (1763.2 degrees Fahrenheit) and boils at 2162 degrees Celsius (3924 degrees Fahrenheit).


What happens when ice is heated from-1 degrees to 101degrees?

When ice is heated from -1 degrees to 0 degrees, it melts into water. As the temperature continues to rise from 0 degrees to 100 degrees, the water heats up and eventually boils at 100 degrees, turning into water vapor. At 101 degrees, the water vapor will continue to increase in temperature.

What are facts about hot ice?

The term "hot ice" would normally be interpreted idiomatically to mean stolen diamonds. If you mean, literally, frozen water at a high temperature, that doesn't happen. When ice is heated, it melts.
