Question

Why does the temprature remain unchange at the melting point when a solid melt into liquid?

Answer 1

due to the heat of transformation of water, there is a specific amount of heat required to induce transformation and overcome the atractive forces between the molecules

Answer 2

Its because you are only putting enough energy into the substance to turn the solid in liquid, it requires more energy to break the bonds between molecules altogether and turn it into a gas.

The misunderstanding you seem to be having is that the temperature change is not self regulatory, it is not changing its own temperature, external energy is working on the substance.

Room temperature will provide enough external energy to melt ice but not enough to boil it, so in fact all the water is doing is having its temperature equalised with the external environment through imput of energy. The temp merely levels out at room temp.

Answer 3

The energy that is added during melting is absorbed by the substance causing them to vibrate more and more and eventually break away from the solid and become liquid.

Only when all of the solid is melted will additional energy go into raising the temperature of the liquid.

Answer 4

What the hell are u on approximately? each and each element/molecule has its very own melting an boiling factors eg. Ice melts to water at 0 tiers celcius Water boils to type steam at a hundred tiers celcius Gases dont have their very own melting an boiling factors
