@Cieloveswork

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

What is ice?

OpenStudy (ashtonfoshee):

frozen water

OpenStudy (cieloveswork):

a) that's easy... think about it when your making mac & cheese and turn off the stove the water makes a smoky gas it don't increase cuz heat has stopped and it don't decrease its still warm and its not a solid so... yeah ;)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

A solid, liquid, or gas?

OpenStudy (ashtonfoshee):

liquid

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

But you said ice was frozen. Ice is in fact a solid until it melts to become water, which in that case becomes liquid. So, ice is a solid. Are we clear about that? :P

OpenStudy (ashtonfoshee):

yea

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Ok, now what happens if you give heat to the ice? Does it become a liquid or a gas?

OpenStudy (ashtonfoshee):

it becomes a liquid

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So the solid becomes a liquid when you give it heat. What do you think will happen when you take away the heat from a liquid? Hint: It's the opposite of what just happened. It's like placing a cup of water in the freezer. You're taking out the heat from the water to make it colder. What will happen?

OpenStudy (ashtonfoshee):

it will become a solid

OpenStudy (cieloveswork):

I'm confused do you know the answer

OpenStudy (ashtonfoshee):

no

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So which answer choice says it will become a solid?

OpenStudy (ashtonfoshee):

B @TheSmartOne

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Correct @ashtonfoshee
