A team of students uses a Bunsen burner to heat a beaker full of ice and uses a thermometer to measure the temperature of the sample as it heats. Their data indicate that the ice maintains a constant temperature of 0°C. Which of the following could be occurring? Select all the options that apply.

answer is b your welcome

1. The ice molecules are at a temperature of 0°C;

2. The ice molecules are absorbing latent heat which would result in their turning to liquid water. Therefore, melting or fusion is occurring.

Note: The question did not provide any options to choose from.

Explanation:

The process of change of state occurs when heat is added or removed from a substance. For example, solid may change to a liquid when heat is added to it whereas a liquid may change to liquid when heat is removed from it.

During the process of change of state, the temperature of the substance undergoing a change of state does not change throughout the time it is undergoing the change. The temperature will begin to increase or decrease when all the molecules of the substance has undergone a change of state. The heat supplied to or removed from a substance during a change of state is known as latent heat.

When a solid changes to liquid, it is known as fusion and the heat absorbed by the solid substance is known as latent heat heat of fusion. If a liquid changes to gas, it is known as vaporization and the heat absorbed by the liquid is known as latent heat of vaporization.

In the experiment by the students above, since the temperature of the ice remains constant at 0°C when heat is supplied from the Bunsen burner to it, the following processes could be occurring:

B, C, D
