When heat is constantly supplied by a gas burner with small flame to melt ice, then the temperature of ice during melting :(a) increases very slowly(b) does not increase at all(c) first remains constant and then increases(d) increases to form liquid water

Correct Answer: (b) does not increase at all

Explanation: During melting, the temperature of the ice does not change at all because the heat is used in overcoming the particle-particle attraction forces, which in turn, keeps the temperature constant.
