Question

Ice melts at 0 celcius . The temperature remains constant at 0 celcius until all the ice has melted . Suggest why the temperature remains constant during melting even though heat is absorbed from the surroundings

Answer 1

because ice melts at 213.16K (Kelvin) and temperature remains 213K . .16 K absorbed.

HOPE IT'S HELPFUL
