When ice melts at 0°c, _____. a. the water produced is at its densest. b. its temperature immediately jumps to 40°C. c. the temperature remains constant because no heat is absorbed. d. the heat energy absorbed is used to break the crystal lattice of the ice.
At temperatures above 32°F (0°C), pure water ice melts and changes state from a solid to a liquid (water); 32°F (0°C) is the melting point. For most substances, the melting and freezing points are about the same temperature.
