When a piece of ice melts, the temperature does not increase even though heat is supplied. Where does the energy go, and why is this important in phase change?
برف پگھلتے وقت حرارت دینے کے باوجود درجہ حرارت نہیں بڑھتا۔ توانائی کہاں صرف ہوتی ہے اور تبدیلیٔ حالت میں اس کی کیا اہمیت ہے؟
Solution & explanation
Energy changes intermolecular arrangement and potential energy rather than increasing average kinetic energy. It supplies the latent heat of fusion until the phase change is complete.
