How do you melt a very high melting point compound?
You would need to use very high temperatures
How does sand turns to glass?
you can melt sand in very high temperatures, mix it with certain minerals, then it will harden into glass.
Why did you add salt to your water?
It is not necessary (with some exceptions - works at very high temperatures) to add salt in the drinking water.
Can the heads on your car melt?
The heads on a car are usually made of steel and require very high temperatures to melt. However they may become cracked if the car overheats.
Why don't salt particles make a gas during distillation?
This can be better understood when thinking about the states of matter. Salt (NaCl) has a very high melting point of 801 C (1474 F). In order for salt to turn from a solid to a liquid, it requires temperatures of greater than 800 C. For a compound to form a gaseous phase, it needs to vaporize (boil). The boiling point for salt is ridiculously high, 1413 C (2575 F). Distillation temperatures for salt water are usually around 100 C, the boiling point of water. At these temperatures salt will not even melt, let alone vaporize.
Can salt melt in heat?
No. The salt does not melt in water, but it dissolves in water. The melting point of common salt (sodium chloride along with other metal salts as impurities) requires very high temperatures (exceeding 800 Degrees C) to melt. The process of melting and dissolving in a solvent are two distinct and totally different ball games, if you will.
Do glaciers melt rocks?
No. Rocks need to reach very high temperatures in order to melt. Glaciers, being made of ice, are cold. Glaciers do, however, grind rocks down into smaller pieces quite easily.
What requires high temperature to melt?
because they are formed with ionic bonding eg NaCl - sodium chloride(a salt) when sodium burns in chlorine, positive sodium ions and negative chlorine ions are formed. the positives attract to the negatives and form a very strong lattice structure that will need alot of energy to break up (alot of heat to melt it)
How can you tell when a water and salt solution is saturated?
salt will melt and become a milky colloured liquid but you will need a very high boiling poit to achieve this
Can acrylic fabric be ironed?
NO!This will melt the acrylic to the iron, even at very low temperatures.
Can you melt a ruby?
yes a very very high temperatures un acheivable with todays technology
Can sodium chloride melt at a very high temperature?
Yes you can melt it. But you want a high temperature.
