3. As the ice melts into liquid water, what happens to the kinetic energy of the particles in the sample?
4. How does the kinetic energy of the particles in the sample relate to the sample’s temperature?
As ice melts into water, kinetic energy is being added to the particles. This causes them to be 'excited' and they break the bonds that hold them together as a solid, resulting in a change of state: solid -> liquid.
kinetic energy is added into the molecules which makes them move faster and faster until they're moving fast enough to generate heat and melt the ice cube
