Question

Melting point of ice is

• A. 10⁰C
• B. 100⁰C
• C. 0⁰C
• D. 90⁰C

Answer 1

The correct option is C

0⁰C

Explanation for correct option:

1. Ice is the solid form of water, water has a boiling point of 100⁰C.
2. Melting point is defined as the temperature at which a solid substance changes to liquid, at this stage both solid and liquid phase will exist in equilibrium.
3. Ice melts at 0⁰C, as there is no temperature change during phase changes.

Hence, option (C) is the correct option.
