Question

question 19 (5 points) listen what kind of phase transition will occur when energy is continuously supplied to a solid sample? a) melting b) evaporation c) freezing d) ionization

Explanation:

To determine the phase transition when energy is supplied to a solid:

• Option A (Melting): Melting is the process where a solid turns into a liquid when heat (energy) is added, which matches the scenario.
• Option B (Evaporation): Evaporation is the liquid - to - gas transition, not related to a solid initially.
• Option C (Freezing): Freezing is the liquid - to - solid transition and requires energy removal, not addition.
• Option D (Ionization): Ionization involves forming ions and is not a typical phase transition of a solid due to energy supply in this context.

Answer:

A) Melting
