Some ice is taken in a beaker and its temperature is recorded after each one minute. The observations are listed below:
| Time (in minute) | Temperature (in °C) |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 0 |
| 2 | 0 |
| 3 | 0 |
| 4 | 0 |
| 5 | 0 |
| 6 | 3.8 |
| 7 | 7.6 |
| 8 | 11.4 |
From the above observations what conclusion do you draw about the melting point of the ice?

Answer
From the above observations it is concluded that the melting point of ice is 0°C.
At 0°C ice starts melting by absorbing heat without any rise in its temperature. After 5 minutes, when the whole ice melts into water, the temperature of this water starts rising further.
