10(a). Name the cause of change which take place during the conversion of ice into water.

Solution

Ice can be converted to water by providing heat to it.
The ice cubes progressively become smaller and turn into water as we continue to boil them.
It is a change of state from solid to liquid and is referred to as melting and it is a reversible change.
Hence, the cause of change is heat.
