Question

How does ice get converted into liquid water?

• A. Heat is absorbed.
• B. Heat is released.
• C. Temperature increases.
• D. Temperature decreases.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Heat is released.

Ice being a solid comprise of very closely packed molecules which possess less kinetic energy. When heat energy is supplied to ice then the kinetic energy of molecules raises and they start to vibrate at their position and overcome the force of attraction between molecules and finally converts to liquid.
