When a solid such as ice begins to melt, heat energy is added. what is the function of this added heat energy?
a) to increase potential energy
b) to separate hydrogen atoms from oxygen atoms
c) to break the bonds between the individual water molecules
d) to add energy to the hydrogen bonds among water molecules
eliminate

The correct answer is option C) to break the bonds between the individual water molecules.

Explanation:

When we have ice melting and add heat to it, the ice will turn into water but will maintain its temperature. The function of heat during this process will be to break the bonds between the individual water molecules.

Ice has molecules of concentrated water, therefore heat will separate these molecules by converting the ice into water.

Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option C.

for many centuries there were important factors which the economies of the muslim empires developed increasingly. they applied economic procedures in production, investment, finance, taxation and property. they used to tax certain goods (for example: harvest), they charged interest on money lent, they signed contracts with merchants; they relied on a common currency, and they used checks as well as promissory notes. with the money collected by means of taxation, the government provided the needy with an income. in addition, trading networks covered huge distances, so far regions started to have contact and exchange goods. this trade network covered areas of asia, africa and europe.
