Question 4 of 12beginner💡 UnderstandVery Short1 mark
Some ice cubes placed in a dish melt into water after sometime. Where do the ice cubes get heat for this transformation?
Correct Answer
The ice cubes absorb heat from the surrounding air and the dish in which they are placed. Heat flows from the warmer surroundings (air and dish) to the colder ice cubes through the process of conduction, causing the ice to melt into water.

Explanation
The chapter explains that heat flows from a hotter object to a colder one. When ice cubes are placed in a dish at room temperature, the surrounding air and the dish are warmer than the ice. Heat is transferred from these warmer surroundings to the colder ice through conduction, providing the energy needed for the solid ice to transform into liquid water.
