    D depends on the impurities in the ice Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

But since water fills a smaller volume when it's liquid, rather thansolid,it will gotoalower meltingpoint — allowingmoresolidtobecomeliquidandhence when we increase pressure,the meltingpointof icedecreasesbecauseoftheinversalrelationship between the pressure and melting point of ice.
