1. When heat is supplied to a solid at its melting point, average kinetic energy of constituent particles does not change.
2. As a result, temperature of body remains constant.
3. Supplied energy...
1. During change of state from solid to liquid, mass of substance does not change.
2. Also, mean distance between particles during change of state does not alter at melting point.
3....
1. On heating, the atoms/molecules in liquid gain kinetic energy and temperature of the liquid increases.
2. If liquid is continued to heat further, at the boiling point, the constituents overcome...
(i) The triple point of water has been assigned a fixed value of 273.15 K. This number represents a unique value associated with a unique condition of temperature and pressure...
