Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Some ice cubes are added to a pot of boiling water. After a few moments, the water stops boiling. Which of the following explains why the water stopped boiling?
A
Heat energy from the water melted the ice
B
Particles from the boiling water moved into the ice and melted the ice
C
Cold energy from the ice transferred into the water, lowering the temperature of the water
D
Cold energy leaving the ice caused it to melt
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following explains why the water stopped boiling? Heat energy from the water melted the ice. Particles from the boiling water moved into the ice and melted the ice.

Detailed explanation-2: -When you add the ice cube to the boiling water, you very quickly cool off the boiling water which will cause the water to stop boiling. It will then take some time for the heat from the burner to heat the water back up to boiling.

Detailed explanation-3: -heated, it absorbs thermal energy and its temperature rises. At some point, the temperature stops rising and the ice begins to change into liquid water. The change from the solid state to the liquid state is called melting.

Detailed explanation-4: -Molecules In Water And because everything is made of molecules, and molecules are in constant motion, everything contains at least some heat. As we know, ice is colder than room temperature water. Because ice molecules move slowly and cluster tightly together, they produce a relatively low amount of heat.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cold is transferred from the ice cube to the hot plate. Thermal energy is transferred from the hot plate to the ice cube. The potential energy of the gas decreases.
