An example of a substance that absorbs heat during melting without change in it's temperature.
Answers
Explanation:
The question refers to latent heat
It is the energy absorbed or released by a substance when its physical state changes without change in its temperature
An example would be of melting of ice block. Consider a 100g of ice in a beaker and note the temperature with a thermometer. Note heat the beaker and you would see that ice would melt but the thermometer reading would stat constant
Alcohol is an example of the substance that absorbs heat during melting without change in its temperature due to the following reasons:
- Latent heat is the energy released or absorbed by a substance without changing its temperature when its physical state changes.
- A substance that absorbs heat during melting without change in its temperature is alcohol.
- Melting of ice would be an another example.
- Alcohol is a liquid which goes liquid to gas at fairly low temperature because alcohol has a fairly low boiling point.
- To make alcohol evaporate the body temperature of human is more than enough.
- In humans when the alchol went from liquid to gas it stucked out heat from the body.
