Q. The m.p. of most of the solid substances increase with an increase of pressure . However ice melts at a temperature lower than its usual melting point when pressure is increased . This is because

Hydrogen

Solution:

ice occupy more volume than liquid water (Ice $\rightleftharpoons $ water). Increase of pressure favours forward reaction ( Le-Chatelier’s principle).
