Question

Sam wants to demonstrate how water changes from a solid to a gas. He places ice in a pot on a stove. What variable is causing water to change state?

A) the heat from the stove
B) the container the ice is placed in
C) the temperature of the air surrounding the ice
D) the time that has lapsed since the ice was removed from the freezer

Answer 1

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Sam placed ice in a pot on a stove then there will be transfer of heat from the stove to the pot and then from the pot to the ice.

As a result, solid state of ice changes into liquid state of water because of melting of ice.

Thus, we can conclude that the heat from the stove is the variable that is causing water to change state.
