What Physical Property of water changes when it reaches its melting point?
Its physical state. When it reaches its melting point, it will change from a solid to a liquid.
Which physical property of water changes when reaches melting point?
mass
Is something melting a chemical or physical property?
Physical property the physical state of the water is changed from ice to water not the chemical state i.e it is still h2o
Is freezing chemical or physical property?
I would say that freezing point is a boiling property because there is no scientific evidence to suggest that it is or indeed ever will be a chemical property. Freezing point is a chemical reaction. Therefor this is a debatable question. Different people may have different views. This is mine."Freezing point" is usually termed as "melting point" in scientific circles. Melting point is defined as the temperature at which the solid and liquid phase of a substance coexist at equilibrium under the pressure of their own vapors. Ice and water coexist at equilibrium at temperature of 32 degrees F when only their own vapor pressures are acting upon them. However, the temperature difference at atmospheric pressure is negligible. As you can see, melting point (freezing point) only depends on the physical conditions acting on the substance, therefore, melting point (freezing point) is a physical property. Melting point is effected (lowered) by the addition of other molecules or ions to the substance. This effect is physical because it depends only upon the number of particles (molecules etc) added and no chemical reaction is required.
Is water at room temperature a physical property?
Yes it is. Properties like Boiling and melting points are physical properties.
What kind of property is melting point and freezing point of water?
The melting point and freezing point of water are physical properties.
What Physical Property of water changes when it reaches its melting point?
Its physical state. When it reaches its melting point, it will change from a solid to a liquid.
Which physical property of water changes when reaches melting point?
mass
Is solid water a physical or chemical property?
Neither. Solid water (water ice) is substance with the formula H2O. The freezing point/melting point of water is a physical property.
Which physical property of water changes when it reaches melting point?
The physical property of water that changes when it reaches its melting point is its state of matter. At the melting point, water changes from a solid (ice) to a liquid form.
Is something melting a chemical or physical property?
Physical property the physical state of the water is changed from ice to water not the chemical state i.e it is still h2o
Is the melting point of water a physical or a chemical change?
First of all, melting point is not a change at all, so forget about classifying it as a physical or a chemical change. It's a property and it's got nothing to do with the chemical composition of water since when water melts it's chemical nature does not change. Hence melting point of water is a physical property or characteristic.
Is melting a physical property or a chemical property?
Melting is a physical property.Any thing is a physical property if it can be reversed but a chemical property can't.For e.g If you melt ice it will become water but still you can freeze it and form ice again. * * * * * Not true. Many chemical reactions are reversible.

Why is melting point a physical property?
It's a physical property because only the appearance changes, ie, the chemical properties are still the same. Ice and liquid water are chemically the same, but differ physically.
Is melting point a intensive or extencive property?
Melting point is an intensive property. Regardless of the amount of a substance present the melting point will remain the same.
Is water at room temperature a physical property?
Yes it is. Properties like Boiling and melting points are physical properties.
