Assertion & Reason Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the option given below. Assertion : The molecules of $0 ^\circ C$ ice and $0 ^\circ C$ water will have same potential energy. Reason : Potential energy depends only on temperature of the system.
The potential energy of water molecules is more. The heat given to melt the ice at $ 0 ^\circ C$ used up in increasing the potentical energy of water molecules formed at $ 0 ^\circ C $
