MCQ
When water boils or freezes, during these processes its temperature:
- AIncreases.
- BDecreases.
- CDoes not change.
- DSometimes increase and sometimes deceases.
✓
Answer
- Does not change.
Explanation:
When water boils or freezes, its temperature does not change during these processes. Heat here is absorbed or liberated as latent heat.
