multiple choice question\nafter ice has melted, the added heat causes ______\nre - formation of hydrogen bonds\nlarge separation between the water molecules\nan increase in the speed of molecular motion\nthe overall temperature of water to remain constant

Answer

Brief Explanations:

When heat is added to melted ice (water), it increases the kinetic energy of water - molecules. Kinetic energy is related to the speed of molecular motion. Adding heat does not cause re - formation of hydrogen bonds (which would release energy), does not cause a large separation between water molecules (which would be more related to vaporization), and does not keep the overall temperature of water constant (temperature rises until it reaches boiling point).

Answer:

C. an increase in the speed of molecular motion
