Question

where does the excess heat energy go as the solid melts ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

So the heat that is being lost by your hand does not raise the temperature of the ice above its melting temperature of 0°C. Rather, all the heat goes into the change of state. Energy is absorbed during the process of changing ice into water. The water that is produced also remains at 0°C until all of the ice is melted.

Explanation:

When solid melts, the temperature remains the same, this is because the absorbed heat is utilized in breaking the forces of attraction between the particles and hence solid changes to a liquid state without changing in temperature.
