What else can I help you with?
Is salt always a solid?
No, salt can exist in different states depending on the temperature and pressure. At room temperature, salt is typically a solid but it can also be dissolved in water to form a liquid solution. Additionally, at very high temperatures, salt can melt into a liquid state.
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.
What happen to the salt when heated?
When salt is heated, it undergoes a physical change and may melt, releasing water vapor due to its hygroscopic nature. At very high temperatures, salt can decompose into its constituent elements, sodium and chlorine, through a chemical process called thermal decomposition.
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.
Does cans melt?
Cans are made of metal, so they have a high melting point and require very high temperatures to melt. The melting point of aluminum cans is around 660 degrees Celsius (1,220 degrees Fahrenheit), so it would require a very intense heat source to melt them.
How do you melt a very high melting point compound?
To melt a high melting point compound, you can typically use high temperatures or alternative methods like using a furnace or a heating mantle. It's also important to provide a suitable container or crucible that can withstand the high temperatures. Additionally, some compounds may require the use of flux or other additives to aid in the melting process.
Does silver react with fire?
Silver does not react with fire at normal temperatures. However, when exposed to very high temperatures, silver can melt and oxidize, forming silver oxide.
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 tungsten will melt in water?
The melting temperature of tungsten is 3422° C. If you can somehow prepare a sample of water at that temperature, more power to you, your tungsten will melt in it.
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)
Can fire melt silicone?
Silicone melts at very high temperatures, around 300-500 degrees Celsius. While fire can reach these temperatures, it is not common for household fires or even small flames to generate enough heat to melt silicone.
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.
