    Sneha set up the experiment for melting of ice in a beaker and noted down the temperature throughout the process. What do you think she observed when the ice was melting?

    A)  The temperature in the thermometer kept increasing till the whole ice melted.

    B)  Once the melting process started, the temperature in thermometer remained constant though the heating was on.

    C)  There was no change in temperature throughout the experiment.

    D)  Ice did not melt on heating. It was converted to vapours.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    During the experiment of melting, once the melting point is reached, temperature remains constant till all the ice melts. This happens even though we continue to heat the beaker. The heat supplied gets used up in changing the state by overcoming the forces of attraction between the particles.
