Question

Why there is more energy in water at 273K than ice at same temperature? Also latent heat if fusion is used up in changing the state. So why more energy? PL give correct answer. No spam​

Answer 1

Answer:

The underlying reason the ice can melt and absorb the heat without its temperature rising is the enthalpy of fusion (sometimes called the “heat of fusion”). The arrangement of water molecules in ice is more orderly than in liquid water, so it takes energy to change the ice into water, even at a constant temperature.
