A cup of water and ice sits in the sun on a hot day.
what happens to the temperature of the water as the ice
melts?
Choices:
Goes above 0 C
Stays at zero 0 C
Goes Below 0 C
When you put ice in the sun then it's temperature rises, but as soon as ice start to melt, during this process temperature stays constant until complete ice in the cup has melted. The heat energy goes into breaking the bonds of the ice's crystal and breaking this process energy will diffused called latent heat.
During the melting temperature constant at 0℃. So heat realized at 0℃ called latent heat of ice.
Latent heat if ice 80 cal/gm.
After the melting temperature will rises at 0℃.
