      Describe an activity to determine the boiling point and melting point of ice.  

    Answer:

                   Determination of boiling point of water: (a) In a beaker take some water and seal it with an aluminium block with one hole in it. (b) Insert a thermometer in the hole of aluminium block. (c) Put the beaker on a tripod stand and heat the apparatus with the help of kerosene burner slowly. (d) Observe what happens to water. (e) You will observe a steady stream of bubbles. This temperature is this temperature is the boiling point of water. Determination of melting point of ice: (a)Take crushed ice in a beaker and insert a thermometer in the beaker by hanging it from the clamp of the stand in such a way that the bulb of the thermometer is completely inside the ice. (b) Wait for some time and keep recording the temperature after small intervals of time. (c) Note down the temperature when ice just starts melting.
