When a cube of ice is heated what happens?

Answer 1

Its particles have more thermal energy, and thus melt and change states of matter into a liquid, water.

If heat continues to be transferred, it will turn into a gas.

The above answer is correct in terms of physics but in terms of chemistry the electrostatic bonds are broken by the heat since the energy is enough to overcome the strength of the bonds. As a result the solid becomes a liquid and then a gas depending on the temperature increase.

Answer 2

When a cube of ice is heated, the ice absorbs thermal energy which causes the ice to melt and change state from solid to liquid water. Once all the ice has melted, further heating will increase the temperature of the liquid water.

Answer 3

I have indeed, pondered this question for many years now much like yourself. I do not know for sure, of course, no one really does. All we can do is make educated guesses.

I believe that when ice heats up, it becomes a mass-murderer and destroys the lesser-known continent of Africa. Much like ebola. I do not suggest attempting this action, as it may result in the beginning of the appocolypse. Try as you might, but I highly suggest you withhold the temptation of tossing a handful of ice into a greased skillet.
