When you add heat to ice, its temperature always stays constant.??
Added by Laura A.
Step 1
During this process, the temperature of the ice remains constant at 0°C (32°F) until all the ice has melted. This is because the heat energy is being used to break the bonds between the water molecules in the ice, rather than increasing the temperature of the ice. Show more…

Heat is added to ice at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ . Explain why the temperature of the ice does not change. What does change?
During a heat transfer process, the entropy of a system (always, sometimes, never) increases.
Heat is added to ice causing the ice to melt but producing no change in temperature. Because water expands when it freezes into ice, the volume of the water obtained from melting the ice is less than the initial volume of ice. Does the internal energy of the ice-water system change in this process? Explain.
