During the heating of ice, at what point does the added heat primarily contribute to breaking bonds rather than increasing temperature?

After all the water is in gaseous form.
When the water reaches $50°C$.
When the ice reaches $-10°C$.
When the ice reaches $0°C$. (correct)

Which statement accurately describes the energy dynamics during a phase change, such as boiling, according to the heating curve?

The temperature increases linearly with added heat, maintaining a constant slope.
The temperature remains constant as the added heat breaks intermolecular bonds. (correct)
The added heat primarily increases the kinetic energy of the molecules.
The temperature decreases as the substance transitions to a more ordered state.

On a cooling curve, what does a constant temperature over a period of time typically indicate?

The substance is in a single phase (either solid, liquid, or gas).
The substance is being heated at a constant rate.
The substance is changing state. (correct)
The substance is undergoing a chemical reaction.
