When ice melts the latent heat of fusion has to be supplied from the environment, which explains why ice takes a long time to melt, even when the surroundings are above the freezing point. The specific latent heat of fusion for water is 330,000 Joules/kg, or if you prefer this in BTU, 142 BTU/lb.

∙ 15y agoWhen Ice melts heat energy from the surrounding is absorbed.As a result of absorption of heat the energy of the water molecules increase and hence the molecules vibrate faster and further this result to breaking of bonds between water molecules hence the solid ice state changes to liquild.(Melting)

When ice melts to form water energy is what?
Absorbed.
What happens to energy when ice melts to form liquid water?
The ice needs to absorb heat energy in order to melt. This energy is stored in the water as a type of potential energy (it requires a force, and therefore energy, to separate the water molecules). When the water freezes, this potential energy is returned once again.
Does mass must be lost to produce energy?
Energy isn't "destroyed" and mass isn't "created" Basically mass is a "form" of energy. Much like ice is a "form" of water. So while one could, kinda, say "ice is destroyed when it melts into water" it isn't exactly true (even though it is no longer ice).
What form energy does the water in a water fall have?
The same as any other falling object. When it is at the top, it has gravitational potential energy; as it falls, that's converted to kinetic energy.
Which form do most energy flow begin?
Chemical, I think
When ice melts to form water energy is what?
Absorbed.
How is water tranformed into energy?
Water is used to produce energy by letting it flow. This form of energy is called hydroelectric power and is considered non-pollutant.
What will form when a glacier melts?
Water
Describe the role of energy when ice melts and when vapor condences to form liquid water?
When water molecules melt, energy is absorbed. When water molecules evaporate, energy is also absorbed. When water molecules condense energy is released. When water molecules freeze energy is also released.

When ice melts to form liquid energy is?
released
When something melts is there engery lost or added?
Added. Heat is a form of energy. When heat is added to something frozen, it melts.
What chemical energy form from electron flow?
Well, Chemical energy is not formed by the flow of electron. The flow of electrons is responsible for the generation of electricity. It is not possible to store electrical energy in its original form. So this electrical energy is stored in the form of chemical energy in case of a battery (Electrical energy is stored in the chemicals of a battery thus converting into chemical energy.) Therefore, Electron flow generates only electricity and no chemical energy is formed.
What happen to the arrangement of water molecules as ice melts?
The arrangement of water molecules start having their chemical bonds break as ice melts. Hydrogen bonds constantly form and break constantly moving everything out of position.
What is the energy at the start of the falling water processs in alternative energy resource?
"Falling water" starts with getting water to a place that it can fall from. This is accomplished by evaporation (inputting solar energy), transportation of the water vapour (using wind caused by solar energy), condensation to form precipitation (heat energy removal), and he downward flow of the water (gravitational energy).
What form of energy can flow in the absence of matter?
wind
What form of energy is stored in the water in a hydroelectric plant?
Electricity isn't stored in the water, but rather electricity is generated from the waters motions. The laminar flow of the water rotates turbines, which generate kinetic energy. Which is then converted to electrical energy usable by us, the consumer
