The freezing of water at 0⁰C can be represented as follows:
H2O (l) ↔ H2O(s)
The density of liquid water is 1.00 g/cm3. The density of ice is 0.92 g/cm3. explain why applying pressure causes ice to melt.

The volume of solid H2O (ice) is higher than the volume of the liquid. Applying pressure will cause the reaction shown to shift to the side that occupies the lower volume. That is the liquid side so the solid melts.
