Question

Can ice release the latent heat?

a. Yes, by absorbing heat from the surroundings.
b. Yes, by melting and undergoing a phase change.
c. No, ice does not release latent heat.
d. No, latent heat is only released during vaporization.

Answer 1

Yes, ice can release latent heat by melting and undergoing a phase change.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, ice can release latent heat. It does so by melting and undergoing a phase change. During this phase change, the ice absorbs heat from its surroundings. The temperature of the ice remains constant at its melting point, which is 0°C for water.
