Question

$1g$ ice at $0^o$C melts to form $1g$ water at $0^o$C. State whether the latent heat is absorbed or given out by ice :

• A. latent heat is absorbed by ice
  
• B. latent heat is given out by ice
  
• C. no change in latent heat
• D. can't say

Answer 1

The correct option is A latent heat is absorbed by ice

Answer is A

Since melting of ice needs heat, so it will absorb heat in form of latent heat and temperature will remain constant until it melts.
