Question

What will happen to the average kinetic energy of the molecules as ice melts at $0^{o} C$ ?

Open in App

Solution

When ice melts at $0^{o} C$ , average kinetic energy of the molecules will remain the same. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance.
