What must be added to a solid to cause it to melt?
Heat must be added to a solid to cause it to melt. As the temperature increases, the solid gains enough energy to overcome the forces holding its particles together, causing them to move more freely and transition into a liquid state.
How to convert gaseous carbon dioxide to solid carbon dioxide?
The same as most substances, CO2 must be cooled and put under increased pressure to become a solid. At one atmosphere, CO2 must be cooled to a temperature of -78.5 degrees Celsius to solidify. At height pressures CO2 solidifies at higher temperatures, however solid CO2 never exists at a temperature above -56.4 degrees Celsius.
Can minerals be liquid or solid or gas?
Rocks are made of minerals. When rocks melt, the minerals become fluid or in a liquid state. Also, when a mineral turns to a liquid it no longer meets the expectaions required for it to be called a mineral.
Why must copper be heated before it can be made into anything?
it must be heated to before it can be made into something because copper is a solid form at room temperature if you were to put it into a liquid for it would be easier to form, such as a square, or a triangle.
Is it true that changing a liuqid to a gas you have to cool it?
To change a liquid to a gas it must be heated to an extreme temperature. If a liqid is cooled enough, it usually turns into a solid, depending on the liquid.
Is there a maximum temperature for a solid to dissolve?
The temperature must be under the decomposition temperature of the substance.
What must the temperature be below for CO2 to be solid?
In order for co2 to become a solid, or 'dry ice' as it's called, its temperature must be below -109.3 degrees F.
What must be true for metamorphism to occur?
the process must take place underground~ apex
At room temperature how many carbons must a saturated fat have to be a solid?
12
What does it mean if a liquid turns into a solid?
The temperature affecting the liquid must have been below freezing for the liquid to turn into a solid.
Is oxygen mineral?
No. It isn't a solid and minerals must be a solid substance No it is a Gas. Minerals are solid inorganic (not naturally produced my plant or animal) substances. It is tequnecly and element
How can liquid be turned into a solid?
the solid must reach its melting point which varies with every substance

If you were changing a gas to a liquid to a solid what thermal change would be involved?
The thermal change that would be involved is a negative one. A gas must decrease in temperature to become a liquid and eventually a solid.
Must energy be removed from a liquid to change it to a solid?
Yes. The energy is what keeps a liquid moving. Removing all or most of the energy (by reducing the temperature) - slows the atoms to the point that they become a solid mass.
Can minerals be liquid or solid or gas?
Rocks are made of minerals. When rocks melt, the minerals become fluid or in a liquid state. Also, when a mineral turns to a liquid it no longer meets the expectaions required for it to be called a mineral.
