Question

Question 7:

1. How does melting take place with a change in temperature?

2. What is the melting point of ice in oF?

Answer 1

a.) Melting takes place in the following sequence:

1. On increase in temperature, the K.E. of particles increases.

2. Increase in K.E. increases the vibrations of particles.

3. This causes the particles to overcome the interparticle force of attraction.

4. Melting begins.

(b) Melting point of ice in oF is 32oF.
