Reggie puts a beaker of ice and water on a hot plate. He observes the ice slowly melt as shown in diagram below. After a few minutes, only liquid water is left in the beaker. Eventually, the water becomes hot enough to boil. The liquid water changes to water vapor, which is a gas.
How is the ice different from the water vapor that forms once the water begins to boil?
