    A block of ice at temperature -20° C is slowly heated and converted to steam at 100° C.  Which of the following diagram is most appropriate?

    A)                      

    B)

    C)                

    D)

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The ice at -20°C converts to ice at 0°C, thus having an increase in temperature. On further heating, ice at 0°C is converted into water at 0°C, thus the temperature remaining constant, a change of phase occurs. Water at 0°C when heated changes to water at 100°C, thus resulting in an increase of temperature. Water at 100°C changes to steam at 100 °C, thus resulting in a change of phase. Hence, Fig. (a) is the correct answer.
