Question

Explain the flow of energy (heat) when a solid turns into a liquid. Write complete sentences! Thx so much!

Heating curve for water. As heat is added to solid water, the temperature increases until it reaches 0 °C, the melting point. At this point, the phase change, added heat goes into changing the state from a solid to liquid. Only when this phase change is complete, the temperature can increase.
