The change of a solid into liquid is called ………

A solid material is supplied with heat at a constant rate. The temperature of the material is changing with heat input as shown (i) AB: change of state from solid to liquid. CD: change of state from liquid to vapour (ii) When CD=2AB , i.e., latent heat of vapourization is twice the latent heat of fusion of the substance. (iii) The reciprocal of slope of DE represents the heat capacity of vapour state of substance . (iv) If slope of OAgt slope of BC, i.e., specific heat of liquid state is greater than specific heat that of solid state.

Assertion : In change of state from solid to liquid the temperature decreases untill the entire amount of the solid subtance melts. Reason : The phenomenon of refreezing is called melting
