Question

Why does water at 0 c have more energy than ice at the same temperature? Explain your answer in terms of latent heat of vaporization

Answer 1

This is because particles of water have the additonal latent heat which particles of ice dont have. So though the temperature is same the hidden heat called as latent heat (of fusion) is there in water for which the ice has got converted into liquid. But particles of ice dont have this energy.
