Question

The conversion of ice into water is an example of _________

Choose the correct answer from the following.

• A. Melting
• B. Freezing
• C. Condensation
• D. Sublimation

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Melting

An explanation for the correct option

(a) Melting

• The process in which solid changes to a liquid is called melting.
• The melting point is the temperature at which solid changes to a liquid.
• If you took out the ice cubes from the freezer and placed them in a warm room, the ice would absorb energy from the warmer air around them and convert it into water.

(b) Freezing

• The process in which liquid changes to a solid is called freezing.
• The freezing point is the temperature at which liquid changes to a solid.

(c) Condensation

• The process in which gas changes to a liquid is called condensation.

(d) Sublimation

• The process in which a solid directly changes to a gas is called sublimation.

Hence, the correct option is (a).
