Are melting and boiling point physical properties of a substance?

Melting and boiling points are physical properties of materials.


The temperature at which the particles of a substance have more kinetic energy to transform is?

The melting or the boiling point.


Short difference between melting and boiling point?

Boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid is in equilibrium with the gas phase of the same liquid. Melting point is the temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid (i.e. the point at which a solid and liquid of the same substance will be in equilibrium)


How would you know that the boiling rocks boil at same teperature each time?

By measuring the temperature of the rocks, and recording what temperature they are at when they start boiling. Also, through the years of chemistry, we've determined that each substance has properties that never change, such as boiling point, and melting point. Ice for instance melts into water above 32 F, or 0 C and boils at 212 F or 100 C. Below this range, water is a solid, (ice) and under normal conditions water will not heat above this range. The boiling point is the point at which as much energy is being put into it, the same amount will be released through boiling. The same can be said for the minerals that make up rocks, (except that the melting and boiling points on rocks is much hotter) Some conditions can change the boiling point of a substance. High pressure means a higher temperature will be needed to cause boiling (this is how a pressure cooker works) Low pressure will need a lower temperature to reach boiling.


What is the relation between pressure and melting point of a substance?

The greater the pressure acted upon the substance,the melting point of the substance lowers. For example, a copper wire is tied around a block of ice. It is noticed that the area around the tied place melts faster than the other parts of the ice. This implies that a greater pressure is acting upon the tied area of the block of ice. -KAREEM IBRAHIM.

Effects of impurities and pressure on melting point of water?

melting point decreases with pressure and increases with impurities (like saw dust). boiling point increases with impurities and also increases with pressure.


Are melting and boiling points of a substance the same?

The melting and boiling points of a substance (in this case I am assuming you are referring to a pure substance, and not a mixture), are the same. The triple point is defined by the temperature and pressure at which solid, liquid, and vapor of a substance, can coexist in equilibrium. At any pressure below the triple point, only sublimation and condensation are possible (no liquid phase is possible). Between the triple point pressure and the critical point pressure, there is a difference between the melting and boiling points, of a substance. The melting point temperature will be lower than the boiling point. At the critical point, the densities of the liquid and vapor phases, have merged, and boiling no longer occurs. At and above the critical point, you cease to get liquid and vapor, but you get what is referred to as a "supercritical fluid".


Is the boiling point of something the same as the melting point?

The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the external pressure. It is also the condensation point. The freezing point is the temperature at which liquid and solid coexist in equilibrium. It is also the melting point.


Are melting and boiling point physical properties of a substance?

Melting and boiling points are physical properties of materials.


What are the melting and boiling points of different substances?

At 1atm, the melting point of H2O(water) is 0 degrees celcius and the boiling point is 100 degrees celcius. Carbon dioxide's boiling point is at -25 degrees and so its meting point. Since it crystallises and sublimates, it has no liquid form. The boiling- and melting points of elements/compounds depend on the amount of pressure exerted on the element/compound. Generally, the higher the pressure, the higher the boiling and melting points. All except for water, gallium and bismuth. These substances' melting point decreases as pressure increases.


What is the boiling melting and freezing point?

A boiling point is a point on the temperature scale at which a substance begins to boil. A melting point is a point on the temperature scale at which a substance freezes. Melting and boiling points are unique to different types of elements.


Why are the melting point and boiling point of the same matter different?

Boiling point is the temperature at which a substance turns into a gas, while melting point is the temperature at which a substance turns into a liquid state from a solid state. The boiling point is always a higher temperature then the melting point. The melting point has a substance turn into a liquid from solid, and boiling point has a liquid turn into a gas.
