Answer

b: The water partly freezes and no ice melts. c: No liquid freezes and no ice melts. d: No liquid freezes and the ice fully melts. e: The water fully freezes and no ice melts.

Work Step by Step

Graph b shows that the water cools to the freezing point, and then some of the water freezes as the ice increases to the freezing point. The water partly freezes and no ice melts. Graph c shows that the water cools to the freezing point, and the ice increases to the freezing point. The water and the ice reach the freezing point at the same time. No liquid freezes and no ice melts. Graph d shows that the ice increases to the freezing point, melts, and then increases above the freezing point. No liquid freezes and the ice fully melts. Graph e shows that the water decreases to the freezing point, freezes, and then decreases below the freezing point. The water fully freezes and no ice melts.
