Concept Introduction :
Melting of ice is a physical processin which state change takes place from solid to liquid. Density of ice is lesser than that of water.
Answer to Problem 4E
Correct answer:Option C is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option:When ice cube melts then density increases and volume decreases. Thus, only volume change will take place when ice cube is melted.
Reasons for incorrect options:
Option A is incorrect as there will be no change in number of atoms it contains.
Option B is incorrect as mass will not be changed after melting of ice.
Option D is incorrect as all the given quantities will not change except volume.
Option E is incorrect as it states that none of the given option is correct though option C is correct.
