Question

Statement: The melting point of ice changes markedly with pressure.

State whether the given statement is true or false.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The melting point of ice is $0^{o}C$ $(32F,273.15K)$ at standard pressure. A significant increase of pressure is required to lower the melting point of ordinary ice. The pressure exerted by an ice skater on the ice only reduces the melting point by approximately ${0.09}^{o}C$ $\left(0.16F\right)$.
