Question

Explain how steadily supplying thermal energy to a sample of ice will affect its particles and its physical state.

Answer 1

Answer:

I am gonna try my best to explain in the simplest way possible. Hope it helps :)

Explanation:

As we know, heat is kinetic energy -- the higher the temperature of a substance, the faster and farther its molecules move. For example, as heat transfers into the ice, the ice molecules move faster and eventually the ice melts. Conversely, when heat transfers from your beverage to the ice and the temperature of the liquid drops, the molecules in the beverage slow down. When those molecules slow down, their kinetic energy decreases. As the ice continues to melt, the heat will continue to transfer to whichever area in the drink is coldest until it reaches an equilibrium. That said, because the energy transfer has been proportional between the two substances -- the heat has simply moved from the liquid to the ice, the overall kinetic energy level between the two substances actually remains the same.

Answer 2

First of all , Thermal energy is also called Heat energy .

So when we will provide heat to Ice which is in solid state , the force of attraction between atoms will be decreased and the distance between particles/atoms will be increased.

This will result in transformation of ice from solid state to liquid state as Water .

Ice when kept at an average of 3 to 4 degree Celsius change into water in liquid state.
