Question 2
A student melts 250 g of ice at 0°C and records the energy supplied. The student then heats 250 g of water from 0°C to 10°C and records the energy supplied for this process. The energy required for melting is significantly greater than the energy required for the 10°C temperature rise. What key feature of specific latent heat does this observation demonstrate?
